Almost positive this is right. Some parts are pretty ambiguous because this song
isn't played with chords, but it should make sense if you play around with it a
little.
[Intro] C
[Verse]
C G F
So now I am older
Em F
Than my mother and father
Em Dm
When they had their daughter
G F G G7
Now what does that say about me?
C G F
Oh how could I dream of
Em F
Such a selfless and true love
Em Dm
Could I wash my hands of?
G F G G7
Just lookin out for me
[Chorus]
F Em Dm Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be
F Em Dm F G G7
Oh man oh my oh me
F Em Dm Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be
F Em Dm F G G7
Oh man oh my oh me
[Verse 2]
In dirth or in excess
Both the slave and the empress
Will return to the dirt I guess
Naked as when they came
I wonder if I'll see
Any faces above me
Or just cracks in the ceiling
Nobody else to blame
[Chorus]
F Em Dm Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be
F Em Dm F G G7
Oh man oh my oh me
F Em Dm Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be
F Em Dm F G G7
Oh man oh my oh me
[Verse 3]
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
Every piece of your dowry
Throw them into the tomb with me
Bury them with my name
Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering
In my underwaaaa
Em Dm
aaaay
G F G G7
ooooo
[Outro]
F Em Dm
Oh man what I used to be
F Em Dm Dsus2
Montezuma to tripoli
F Em Dm F G
Oh man oh my oh me
