verse 1
G C
This morning I woke up
G D
And went for a ride,
G C
And some wild outlaws chased me
G D
And they shot me in the side.
G C
So I crawled into a wildcats cave
G D
To find a place to hide
G C
But some pirates found me sleeping there
G D
And soon they had me tied
Em* C*
Till a mermaid came and cut me loose
G D
And begged to be my bride
G C
So I said id come back Wednesday
G D
But I must admit I lied.

verse 2
G C
Then I stepped into some quicksand
G D
And no matter how I tried
G C
I couldn’t get out, until I met
G D
A water snake named Clyde
G C
Who pulled me to some cannibals
G D
Who planned to have me fried
G C
But an eagle came and swooped me up
G D
And through the air we flied
Em* C*
But he dropped me in a boiling lake
G D
A thousand miles wide
G C G C D
And you’ll never guess what I did then---
G
I DIED”
