Start Jamming...
Fetched [E] up and made, really excited about it.
[Em] Hopefully you are as well.
[E]
[E] [D] That [G] hurt, didn't it?
[F#] That's where everybody just sits and waits [E] and watches.
It's the hardest way to train ever.
[Bm]
[G#] Cool.
So here's our slightly goofy
[E] Bug [F#] Keeper song.
Hold on for me.
One, two, three, four, [C]
five, [Dm]
[G]
[D] [F] [C]
six, seven, [D] eight.
In between [Dm] [G] these cushions and [F] me.
[Fm] [C]
I never claimed that I'd be rich.
Never [Dm] said I would try.
That I [G] lived well enough to [Em] eat.
And I [F] lived long enough [C] to die.
So don't sell what you can't keep.
[Dm] Sell it hot or sell it cheap.
[G] We all can sit [C] just the same.
For a coin, for a penny.
[Em] [Dm]
[G] [F]
[C]
My mother's a millionaire.
[Dm] She lives in the clouds.
So I [G] sit down.
To open [F] some house.
To try [C] to help.
I'm sure someday I'll end up big as well.
As [Dm] none.
All the time will tell [D] as well.
[F] But what is it all about?
[C]
Don't sell what you can't keep.
[Dm] Sell it hot or sell it cheap.
We [G] all can sit just [F] the same.
For a coin, [C] for a penny.
[Dm]
[G] [F]
[C]
[Dm]
[F]
[C]
I'm the same.
The devil will take your soul.
This [F] world ain't no place to call home.
[G] I [F] often feel all alone.
[C]
And as bad as it may seem.
[Dm] I'll be knees in between.
I'll be knees in between.
I'll be knees in between.
I'll be knees in between.
[G] These footsteps never [F] gonna mean nothing.
[C]
Don't sell what you can't keep.
[Dm] Sell it hot or sell it cheap.
[G] We all can sit just the [F] same.
For a [C] coin, for a penny.
I said don't sell what you can't keep.
Sell [Dm] it hot or sell it cheap.
[G] We all can sit just [F] the same.
For a coin, for a penny.
