[Verse 1]
In Delaware when I was younger
C F
I would live the life obscene
In the spring I had great hunger
C Am
I was Brando, I was Dean
Blaspheming, booted, blue-jeaned baby boy
Oh, how I made them turn their heads
C
The townie brownie girls they jumped for joy
C7 F C F
Begged me, bless them in their beds___
[Verse 2]
In Delaware when I was younger
C F
I would row upon the lake
In the spring I had great hunger
C Am
I was Keats, I was Blake
My pimpled pencil pains I’d bring
To frogs who sat entranced
C
My drift-dreamed ditties I would sing
C7 F C F
The water strider danced
[Verse 3]
In Delaware when I was younger
C F
They thought St. Andrew had sufficed
But in the spring I had great hunger
C Am
I was Buddha, I was Christ
You wicked wise-men, where’s your wonder?
You Pharisees, someday will pay
C
See my lightning, hear my thunder
C7 F C F
I am truth, I know the way____
