I am an ex offender
They let me out in the summer
I think I was in a coma
I didn't know what to do
Oh no
You go hang around go round
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
You go hang around around
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
I got no sent of existence
I know the nodding dogs
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah
You go hang around go round
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
You go hang around around
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the B-u-u-ugman
This is played on 2 guitars on the recorded version, but can also be played
on 1 if your good enough.

the scale:
E-22-19------------------------ E-20-17------------------------
B-------22-19------------------ or E-------20-17------------------
G-------------20-18------------ E-------------19-17------------
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah
