[A]
I tried to break away from you, from the spits and blacks and the gum you chew.
And the posters are torn [D] by the muck and [A] gangs, by the spiky parts and the burnt out fans.
[E] I've got 99 [A] years of playing in the [E] dark and I fought the [A] young to lie.
[E] I've got 99 [A] ways of playing my [E] guitar, I stole the pain even [A] before I died.
[E] So bob your sweet [A] head, brothers, you ain't gonna [E] play, I'm just a [A] bopper that you can hear.
[E] Put a rockin' in [A] your head, sometime I'll come [E] round with my guitar and make [A] some grangin', we can give you [E] sweet head.

[E] [A] [E] [A]
[B] [A] [B]
[A] [D] [A]
I'm tough as [D] glass and clean as [A] night.
Well, if it looks to love, we can love alright.
I'm your rubber peacock, angelic whore.
I'm a wrought iron face upon the wall.
[E] I've got 99 [A] tales of murder come [E] life and I'm running [A] away from it all.
[E] I've got a bet on [A] every mirror in [E] town, they're gonna claim [A] me if I fall.
[E] So bob your [A] sweet head, brothers, you ain't gonna play, [E] I'm just a bopper that you [A] can hear.
[E] Put a rockin' in your head, [A] sometime I'll come round [E] with my guitar and make some [A] grangin', we can give you sweet [E] head.
[A] [E] Sweet head.
[A] [E] Give you [A] sweet head.
[B] [A]
[B] [A] While you're down there,
[D] see my eyes of [G] blocks and ocean.
[Bm] See my tremble, [D] see my fall.
[G] Dramatic, [D] thick and [G] vast, your [D] faith in [A] me could last.
[E] Besides, I know from day zero, [A] done it all.
I'm south of where your mother dwells.
She knew what's [D] going down to give you [A] hell.
I'm the kind of man [D] she warned me [A] of.
Tell her what's wrong, you only had God.
[E] You and I [A] have a little vow, [E] we both like [A] God and we both like [E] loud.
I've got pretty [A] shoes and I'm feeling [E] proud.
I'm street side [A] out when I enter the [E] crowd.
So bob your sweet [A] head, brothers, you ain't gonna [E] play, I'm just a bopper [A] that you can hear.
[E] Put a rockin' in your [A] head, sometime I'll come round [E] with my guitar and make some [A] grangin', we can give you sweet [E] head.
