Verse 1
        E 
When my feet touch down in a foreign land 
         D                 A 
I buried all my money in a coffee can 
              E 
And I've been hobo skipping just to hide from the weather 
     D                      A 
Only got two pennies better rub them together

Because I keep it on my sleeve 
  E 
I wear it on my shirt

I better suck it up before I,

        E 
When my shoes got holes in the cobble streets

I'm like a lone crusader on a holy endeavor 
       D                   A 
Living 5 pound daily in a charity sweater 
            E 
Because I'm beating on my drum 
    E 
I'm tapping on my knee 
  D                       A 
A street rat jamming to a Beck CD 
           E 
You know I still got rhythm if I don't get paid

And I don't give a shit if I
