Wonderlust King - Gogol Bordello
Tabbed out by Bechamel
This riff repeats almost throughout the entire song, it is the chorus and verse.
Bm - G - D - F#
Bm G
Back in the day, yo, as we learned
D
A man was not considered to be
F# Bm
Considered to be fully grown
Bm G
Has he not gone beyond the hills
Has he not crossed the seven seas
(Yeah, seven seas at least!)
Now all them jokers kept around
Just like the scarecrows in hometown
Yeah, scarecrows in hometown
From screen to screen they're traveling
But I'm a wonderlust king
I stay on the run
(The run!)
Let me out
Let me be gone
In the world's beat up road sign'in
I saw new history of a-time
New history of time!
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh!
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh!
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh!
Dadadadada oh! Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Through Siberian woods
Breaking up their neck
(Breaking up their neck!)
Chinese moving in, building discoteques
(Building discoteques!)
Trans-Siberian sex toys and what-not
Yeah, and why not?
Well at least it's something different
F#
From what they got in every other airport
(in russian:)
F# Bm
Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozge
F# Bm
Sovrat ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozga!
G D
Simple because I'm not a total gadjo
F# F#
Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge?
D
i've traveled the world looking for understanding
Bm G
Of the times that we live in
G
hunting and gathering first hand information
D
challenging definitions of sin
D
I traveled the world
Bm
Looking for lovers
Of the ultimate beauty
G
But never settled in
G ----- Em
Hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya
Again (Bm - G - D - F#)
I am a wonderlust king!
I stay on the run
(The run!)
Let me out
Let me be gone
In the world's beat up road sign'in
I saw new history of a-time
New history of time!
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh!
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh!
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh!
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh!
And presidents
And billionaires
And generals
They'll never know
What I have owned
What I have owned
Hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya
Hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya
I am a wonderlust king!
