Lemons

Intro
A D x4

Verse 1
A               D
I'm sailing the seas of red wine
A                  D
I'm strumming this nonsense tune
A                   D
Add my voice to a rebel serenade
A                    D
Echoin' off a waxin' moon

[intro x2]

Verse 2
A                     D
And I've crumpled our paper captain
A                      D
Now who will lead this swarthy crew?
A                                 
Tear the teeth off the gears, keep
        D
 'em as souvenirs, boys!
A                          D
The world needs a few good mutineers
 now

Chours
D                        A      
Sometimes I slumber on a bed of 
E
roses
E                        A    D
Sometimes I crash in the weeds
D                      A       E
One day a bowl full of cherries
              E (cut silent)
One night I'm suckin' on lemons and 
spittin' out the seeds

Verse 3
A                   
I am the fat, native, 
                  D
skinny-dippin', semi-professional 
tourist
A                   D
A gold watch at the bottom of the 
sea
A                          D
Tis time I depose of those petty 
tyrants
A                  D
One on the throne, one inside me

[chorus]

Bring on the change. Let's keep it 
D
simple now

Don't confuse your wants with your

A                           D
Believe in love (love!), forsake 
your greed
A                            
And give away what you want to 
    D
receive
"what you say?"
A                            D
Give away what you want to receive
"what you say?"
A                            D
Give away what you want to receive
"what you say?"
A                            D
Give away what you want to receive
