Intro:
E A (strummed)
Do what I want, do what I want (x2)
E A
Do what I want, do what I want (x2)
E A
I'm a real live hobo, I prefer my life on the rails
E A
I keep a coin in my pocket, my only friend is head or tails
E A
I had a wife and a family I let them fend on their own
E A
You only count on yourself, hope they appreciate what they've been shown
C#m
Sometimes I flip the coin
E
Oh yeah I flip the coin
C#m
Oh I flip the coin
E
Ya I flip the coin
E A
Do what I want, do what I want (x2)
E A
I hopped the Union Pacific headed to Cliforniyay
E A
I rubbed the coin in my pocket and wondered just what they'd say
E A
I was met with open arms, warm bed, and fam was back in my lap
E A
She said "don't leave us again for that drink you use as a map"
C#m
But then I flipped the coin
E
Oh yeah I flipped the coin
C#m
Oh yeah I flipped the coin
E
Ya I flipped the coin
E A
Do what I want, do what I want (x2)
E A
Sometimes a man gets an itch to take a nip off a scotch or rye
E A
With every sip there's a flip, fates been chosen no need to try
E A
I love sleeping under stars watching woods and worlds zooming by
E A
My life's the flip of the coin, it's the freest way to live and die
C#m
Because I flipped the coin
E
Oh yeah I flipped the coin
C#m
Oh yeah I flipped the coin
E
Ya I flipped the coin

E A
Do what I want, do what I want (x4)
E A
I do what I want, yes I do, I do what I want
E A
I could have anything, but I prefer nothing
E
I don't need a house, I don't need a hug
A
I don't need stuff, I don't need love
E A
I don't need things, I don't need books, I don't need you
E
I do what I want
