G F G A
I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled 'til I'm blind.
D

G
Communist, 'cause I'm left-handed.
A D (bar7)
That's the hand I use, well, never mind!
VERSE 2: (as before)
I been Phil Spectored, resurrected.
I been Lou Adlered, Barry Sadlered.
Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay.
And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce,
And all my wealth won't buy me health,
So I smoke a pint of tea a day.
INTERLUDE:
D GI knew a man, his brain was so small,
AHe couldn't think of nothing at all.
He's not the same as you and me.
GHe doesn't dig poetry.
AHe's so unhip that when you say Dylan,
He thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas,
GWhoever he was.
AThe man ain't got no culture,
But it's alright, Ma, everybody must get stoned.
VERSE 3: (as before)
I been Mick Jaggered, silver daggered.
Andy Warhol, won't you please come home?
I been mothered, fathered, aunt and uncled,
Been Roy Haleed and Art Garfunkeled.
I just discovered somebody's tapped my phone.
ENDING: (repeat intro riff to fade)
