Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  got rid of my jackets  and coats
 I threw  out all of my pants
I  got sick of my stinking  clothes
 I had  to get rid of them
 I'm not  yet considering replacing  them
 I'm only  glad to be rid  of them
and  rest a while
Rest  a while
 ( No Guitar )
 I lay out in the sun too long
 and burned off all of my skin
 I felt so dizzy, I got into the car
 and got into an accident
 Out of the burning wreckage I fell
 wanting only to lay there I fell
 and Rest a while
 Rest a while
Rest  a while
 I became friendly with Ruy Lopez
 the author of works on chess
 Ruy said you're incorrect
 he cut me off and acted mad
 He won't even talk to me now
 but I don't care cos I'm sick of that guy
 and I need to
Rest  a while
Rest  a while
Rest  a while
Rest  a while
