         overdubbed.]

        A             E              G                 D    A Asus4 A Asus4
        When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
        A                 E             G              D    A Asus4 A Asus4
        I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a can
        Am            C*              G          D         A Asus4 A Asus4
        In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
        Am            C                             G
        You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
               A                          (Am)
              [E  A  A]  [E  A  A]               <- bass
        [3/4] Oop-ip-ip  oop-ip-ip, [4/4] yeah!

        * mistake during verse 1: bass plays E pattern over C chord

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

        If I don't start cryin' it's because that I have got no eyes
        My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
        Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
        Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
        Oop-ip-ip  oop-ip-ip, yeah!
