Intro: F C F C Bb Dm G Am G She's a box car rollin' by Am G Like a black star in the sky Am G She's a failure once or twice Am G Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy icePre-Chorus
Am G Flowers fly when we grow old Am G Snakes get high, or so I'm told Am G She's an eagle out on the road Am G Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and soldF C All of my love and half my kisses F C Superstar don't do the dishes Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free F C Come on now, you lazy cowboy F C Heads or tails, but not right now, boy Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free Am G She's a rain bird on the prowl Am G Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow Am G She's a forest that we burned Am G Just a blueprint for a life that we had never learnedPre-Chorus
Am G Flowers fly when we grow old Am G Snakes get high, or so I'm told Am G She's a lynch mob on the street Am G Take another step and I will kill the beat( Am G Am G Am G Am G ) Am G She's a bus stop, glockenspiel Am G She's a simulation life that you thought was real Am G She's an image that we blurred Am G It's a pixelated panther, now let it purrF C All of my love and half my kisses F C Superstar don't do the dishes Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free F C Come on now, you lazy cowboy F C Heads or tails, but not right now, boy Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be freeF C All of my love and half my kisses F C Superstar don't do the dishes Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free F C Come on now, you lazy cowboy F C Heads or tails, but not right now, boy Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free ( F C F C ) Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free ( F C F C ) Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free
