Verse 1:
Em Am G B7
I remember when, I saw the sea freeze.
Em Am G B7
But it said nothing, about the birds and the bees.

Em Am
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
G B7
You know where I'm coming from.
Em Am
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
G B7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
Em Am
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,

Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.

He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,

And wants you to be his special guest.
