Chord names sit directly above the word where you change.
Standard Tuning It's either in 3/4 or 6/8 time. I have hard time telling the difference. -- Verse I -- D C G There once was a poodle who thought he was a cowboy D C G He lived in a cage the size of his thumb D C G And, though his white horse was a box of toothpicks D C G He galloped around until he was hit by a car -- Verse II -- D C G Sometimes I flap my arms like a hummingbird D C G Just to remind myself I'll never fly D C G Sometimes I burn my arms with a cigarette D C G Just to pretend I won't scream when I die -- Chorus -- C G If my life was as long as the moon's C G I'd still be jealous of the sun C G If my life lasted only one day A C G I'd still be drunk by noon A C G Yes I'd still be drunk by noon *Whistling Verse* -- Verse III -- D C G Sometimes I hope I come down with cancer D C G At least then I'll get to stay in bed and watch TV all day D C G And on my deathbed I'll get all the answers D C G Even if all my questions are taken away *Chorus*
