F#m                       E
        I was born in the jungle
         Bm                 F#m
With the sickening smell of cinnamon
 in the air
F#m              E
       Born in a white hole
      Bm      A         D      E
and I can't believe the colors 
      F#m
here today
           E
Stuck on a circle
     Bm                     
I've never been blessed with

elephant's memory
F#m             E          Bm
       Riding a red line nowhere

       A
 to be paid for

Bm            A
things that I need sir
   D        A  G                
If it takes 40 years I want the 
Bm              A       D   E
thunder and the rain

F#m                     E
        I was born in a good home
          Bm             F#m

       Was not a factor
      Bm      A         D         
And I can't believe the things it 
A       F#m
does to me
                    E
I'm filled with the white noise
       Bm                F#m
Well I never did much of anything 
anyway
 F#m             E           Bm
       Jump on a big train nowhere

F                     C          
   I'm gonna buy me a good heart,
       G                 D
 and a conscience, maybe raise some 
children
F     C                       G
    Get me a good wife, and a God 
and God and God and God and

        I was born on a warm night
       Bm                F#m
On the right coast, southeastern 
America
F#m              E
       Dead on arrival
        Bm      A         D      
But you can't believe the things 
    E      F#m

              E                Bm
I'll fly me a white plane over water
     F#m
Over blue and green and
F#m                 E         Bm
        Land in the ocean somewhere

If it takes 40 years well I want

Yeah and I want that rain
