VerseD
Once I was a dyin breed
D
Chewin on an ancient leaf
D
Before we took the notion
A
To keep up with the times
GA
And leave 'em all behind
GA
Chisel to the paper
GA
Tattoos on the ether
D
Fadin' in the light
VerseD
All the while I gorge my gut
D
Come the time that I would rut
D
Runnin high and low
A
To find my prehistoric queen
GA
To keep me warm 'til spring
GA
When I go out with my friends
GA
To graze the land and wonder
D
When I'd see your face again
ChorusBmG
till the day I met my doom
AD
I took one in the boiler room
BmG
To put food on the table
AD
Of a dying breed of man
VerseD
Once I was a broken heart
D
Once I tore your heart apart
D
Once my heart put out
A
Before I ever got to breathe
GA
And my soul returned to seed
GA
To come to Earth again
GA
Clucking out a living
D
As a favorite laying hen
ChorusBmG
One day I met my doom
ADA fox got in the chicken coop
BmG
Doing all he knew to do
AD
To feed a hungry den
ChorusBmG
On and on, down the line
AD
I've swam canals and bore the hide
BmG
Plenty of births along this ride
AD
Of being born again
VerseD
Once I was and you were too
D
And we were both the word of truth
D
We built this world together
A
With a loud and mighty bang
GA
Lord, it sounded like a train
GA
It echoed o'er the land
GA
We came up with the game we play
D
Of being born again
