Intro--- E   G   D  x4

         E              G         
ooh, I'd rather have my life than 
     D              E             
be unborn, yes, I'd rather have a 
G             D
bad time than no time at all
         E               G        
ooh, I'd rather take the storm 
       D                E         
than be becalmed, yes, I'd rather 
     G              D
have my life than be unborn

     E          G           D    
but, if I was a monkey up a tree,
       E               G          
 well, all you big old blackbirds 
               D
would come and take a peck at me
         E                G       
but, I'd rather have that life 
       D              E           
than be unborn, yes, I'd rather 
     G               D
take that writing off the wall

           E          G           
well, now, if I was a monkey up a 
D         E                G    
tree, or, down in some old 
            D
basement over at 32nd Street
         E             G       
but, I'd rather live a nightmare 
            D             E       
that's my own, yes, I'd rather 
         G               D
take that writing off the wall

Bb                  G             
sometimes I think I must be going 
D                  Bb             
crazy, 'cause most people seem to 
G          D
value that that hasn't any worth
      Bb                    G     
well, that's their business now 
           D        E             
you know I'm easy, as long as they
     G              D
 don't count on me to do their dirty
 work

    E             G              
I'd rather be the rain than be a 
D              E            G   
pond, yes, I'd rather I had 
             D
nothing than had something that I'd 
borne
         E              G         
yes, I'd rather make my church the
      D               E           
 open road, yes,  I'd rather wipe 
     G               D
that writing off the wall

           E          G           
well, now, if I was a monkey up a 
D         E             G       
tree, or, in some dirty basement
         D
 down on 32nd Street
          E              G        
well, I'd rather take my life than
      D              E            
 be unborn, yes, I'd disregard 
  G              D
