MAIN RIFF
I grew from monkey into man,
Then I crushed 15 million with a wave of my hand.
I grew drunk on water turned into wine,
'Till I was slave and master at the same damn time.
It's why I am.
It's why I am.
Why I am, still here dancing with the GrooGrux King.
(BACK TO VERSE)
REPLAY THE INTRO ( )
Out of my head and into the room hello.
BACK TO MAIN RIFF
W/Funky lil' fill I had to add:
e|12~----10-------------12-10----7-------8-7--|
B|---------12-12-12-12-12-----8~------------8-|
VERSE and CHORUS are pretty much the same...
for this...
So when my ghost takes me from you.
You can remember the fool that I am.
Don't cry baby,
Don't cry.
It's the lose and the win of the world.
Wrong and right,
Us and them of the world.
It's the you and the me of the world.
But, Only one way out of the world.
It's the lose and the win of the world.
Wrong and right,
Us and them of the world.
It's the you and the me of the world.
Only one way out of the world.
last go around of it has the / )
THEN CHORUS
THEN PLAY THE BIT ONCE
THEN BACK to the 3x
Don't cry baby,
Don't cry.
To end it all off...
