E C#m F#m7 E/G# A B7
E A2 F#m7 B7sus B7
E C#m F#m7 E/G# A B7Chorus: E A2 F#m7 B7sus B7I got a
SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
E C#m F#m7 E/G# A B7Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly
E A2 F#m7 B7sus B7I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
E C#m F#m7 E/G# A B7That walk up my long board and hang off the nose
Verse 1: G#mI suppose
A9 G#m7The need to focus never arose
C#7 F#mSo something like a Swiss army knife
B7That’s my life
G#m A9 G#m7Frankenstein had nothing on this body of mine
C#7 F#m D9(b5)The villagers still flockin’ to see, to see me
C7 B7Breaking free, breaking free
Chorus 2: E A2 F#m7 B7sus B7Cause I got a
SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
E C#m F#m7 E/G# A B7Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly
E A2 F#m7 B7sus B7I got a bartender’s ear and beachcomber’s style
E C#m F#m7 E/G# A B7Piratical nerve and a Vaudevillian style
Link:E A2 F#m7 B7sus B7I Oo
E C#m F#m7 E/G# A B7I yi yi yi yi yi
Verse 2:I suspect I died in some cosmic shipwreck
With all hands spread all over the deck
What the heck
Then some kind of obscene and unscrupulous mind
Began to pick up what he could find
Added ice, shook me twice, Added Ice, rolled the dice
Chorus 3:Now I got a
SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
A sailor’s legs and a license to fly
I got a native tongue from way down south
It sits in the cheek of my gulf coastal mouth
Chorus:I got a
SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
That glide up my longboard and hang off the nose
Exit:E A2 F#m7 B7sus B7I Oo
E C#m F#m7 E/G# A B7I yi yi yi yi yi
