_ _ _ _ _ Man, it was mean to be seen in the lobes you bought [Ab] the land
You must have known that it [E] was _ Easter
_ _ _ There, _ _ for a while, _ in your smile, I could see Mexico [Ab] blood
Say this is true, I was [E] a teaser _
_ There _ _ [B] _ _
were a thousand man [F]-eaters _ _ being _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
exchanged for pasitas
[F] _ _ _
_ Man, _ _ [E] _ _
it was [B] hard not [C] to laugh [Dbm] out loud
I couldn't believe the size of [Ab] the crowd
You must have fooled them into [E] _ coming
_ _ _ _ _ Wow, there [B] were women [Ab] and children [Dbm] too
They would have hanged us if [Ab] they knew
I think I know for [A] certain _ _
Inside you think it's a hard thing _
You always pretend for the party
[E] _ Man, it [B] was mean, it [Am] was mean
_ [F] Man, it [E] was _ mean _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ Remember the time, what a time
We had down in [Ab] _ Barcelona after you'd been _ [E] slaying _ babies
_ _ There, _ for a time, I was fooled by your _ disguises
But [Ab] I never thought of [E] smashing fools
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ You wore the yellow _ bandana [F] _
and _ _ _ [B] _ _
gave out heavenly _ manners
[F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ Then in [B] Amsterdam [Ab] you were perfect [Dbm] fun
You never let on you had a [Ab] gun
And then you shot that [E] Spanish _ dancer
_ _ The _ speed at [B] which we ran [A] for [Gb] a [Dbm] mile or two
They would have crucified us if [Ab] they knew
I think I know for [A] certain _
Inside you think it's a hard thing _
We only killed for the [E] party
Man, it was [B] mean, [Am] it was _ mean
_ [C] Man, [F] it [E] was _ mean
_ _ [A] You _ think [E] you're important and [A] clever
I'll tell you now [E] where that's at
_ [A] You can be this [E] way forever and [D] ever _ _
Sooner [Dm] or later [B] you'll flip
_ _ _ _ Man, _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
show [B] me something [C] I've never [Dbm] seen
You're only real in your dream [Ab] machine
And all your games a little [E] _ drastic
_ _ _ _ _ Just throw [B] me out if [C] I get [Dbm] obscene
But that's the way that I've always [Ab] been
I think I know for _ [A] certain _
Inside you think it's a hard thing
We only lived in a [Am] mountain
[E] Man, it was [B] mean, it was [Am] _ mean
_ _ [F] Man, it [E] was mean
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ Happy birthday to you _
Happy _ birthday to you Happy birthday _ _ _ _
