Chords for Chad Mitchell Trio - I Was Born about 10000 Years Ago

Well, I was born [E] about 10,000 years ago.
[C] Oh, thank God!
But it happened in this [F] world that I don't know.
[Bb] I saw Peter Paul and Moses playing,
[F] and the rock, the roses, and [G] I looked at the guy that said,
It [F] isn't so.
Well, I'm just a lonesome traveler,
[D] a great historical bum,
[C] highly educated,
through history [F] I have come.
[Bb] I built a rock of ages, it was in the year of one,
[D] and that's about the biggest [Dm] thing that man has ever done.
I saw Adam and Eve recruiting [A] from the door,
[G] I'm the guy that picked the fig leaves at the door,
[Fm] and [Bb] from behind the bushes,
we saw the crackle that was heating,
[F] and I swear that I'm the one that loved the corn.
Well, I built the Garden of Eden,
[D] it was in the year of two,
joined the Apple Pickers Union,
[Fm] I always paid my due,
[Bb] and I made what's now the contract,
the raise of our [D] son,
and that's about the biggest thing that man has ever done.
[F] I taught Satan how to use [G] his meaty head,
I showed Polish through the sapula,
[Fm] [Bb] and for Clara's little [F] kiddies,
I built all the [D] pyramids,
and to the Sahara [F] carried all the sand.
Well, I was straw boss on the [Am] pyramids
and the Tower of Babel too,
I opened up the [F] ocean,
lifted lives and killed a few,
I fought a million battles,
I never lost a buck,
[D] and that's about the [F] biggest thing that man has ever done.
I taught Solomon his little [Dm] ABC's,
I [G] was the first one to eat little rubber [F] cheetahs,
[Bb] and I pulled him down the [F] bay,
with my Cthulhu one day,
I saw his whiskers floatin' in the breeze.
[Dm] Well, I fought the [C] revolution to set this country [D] free,
it was me and a couple of [F] Indians that dumped the best in the [Bb] sea,
I won the Battle of Valley [G] Fork,
a battle fully run,
and that's about the [F] biggest thing that man has ever done.
Well, the [C] President's fell in love with me,
we were [Bb] married in Milwaukee [F] secretly,
[Bb] yeah, but I got tired [F] of shakin',
so I went off with General [C] Humbert to go shoot the [F] Skeeters down in Tennessee.
Well, I was born about ten thousand [C] years ago,
[G] there ain't nothin' in this world that I don't [F] know,
[Bb] I saw people and boats a-playin' around [Dm] the roses,
and I walked the [F] guy that says it is so.
I've done the blood, the [Cm] tragedy, the great start of a [Gm] bomb,
I've been highly [Dm] educated, through [F] history I have come,
[Bb] I've been [F] wrongly accused, I've been a hero [D] once,
I've had some bad cases, [F] and I'm over now,
I've done the blood, the [G] tragedy, the great start of a bomb,
I've been highly educated, [F] through history I have come,
[Bb] I've been wrongly [F] accused, I've been a hero [Gm] once,
I've had some bad [F] cases, and I'm over now.
