I once knew a poet, who lived before his time
GG/F#CGCC/BD
He and his dog Spooner, who listened while he rhymed
EmBmCC/BFF/ED
Words to make ya happy, words to make you cry
GG/F#CGCDGCG
Then one day the poet suddenly did die
But he left behind a closet, filled with Verse and rhyme
Through some strange transaction one was printed in the Times
And everybody searchin for the king of underground
Well they found him down in Florida, with a tombstone for a crown
CC/BD
And everybody knows the lines
CC/BD
From his book that costs $4.99
CC/BD
And I wonder if he knows he's doin
CG
Quite this fine
