Danny Carlisle

   C        F                 
He wanted a tree fort more than 
  C         C
anything
       Am                    G    
Yes he wanted to build and defend 
           F      F
one on his own
        C                 F       
But the neighbor boys' BB seige 
      C    Am
was overwhelming
        G                          
So he a-won't be building his dream
 F                 C     C
 tree fort anymore

[Verse 2]
C               F                
  He received a five-speed 
      C          C
Schwinn for Christmas
      Am                     
So he built a ramp out of the 
 G             F        F
plywood and a stump
       C         F          
And at nights he dreamed Evel 
   C    Am
Knievel
      G              F      
And a canyon to jump in a-his 
          C     C
backyard

[Chorus 1]
F     G          Am             
  Danny um-Carlisle, he don't 
     G
give a shit about the Contras
F     G          Am             
  Danny um-Carlisle, he's barely
                        G          
 grown and he's used up most of his
 F
 options
                   F            
And still he would rather dream, 
        F
dream, dream
                   F               
And still he would rather dream 
  C        C
than fuck

[Verse 3]
C              F                 
Once he used a pocket knife to 
     C              C
kill a garden snake
       Am                G     
Yes he chopped that evil serpent 
       F         F
into fours
            C                 
And when he raised his eyes to 
 F           C       Am
heaven as a soldier
   G                  F           
He wiped the blood of bad snake on
          C     C
 his shirt

[Chorus 2]
F         G          Am         
 Yeah Danny um-Carlisle, he 
         G
don't give a shit about the Contras
F         G          Am         
 Yeah Danny um-Carlisle, he's 
                            G      
barely grown and he's used up most 
     F
of his options
                   F            
And still he would rather dream, 
        F
dream, dream
                   F               
And still he would rather dream 
  C        C
than fuck
