[Verse 1]
        D               C  G     
I don't care about your karma, I 
      D                      F
don't care about what's hip,
   G                   Bb         
No space cadet's gonna tell me 
     D   F
what to do.
        D              C   G     
I won't swim in your jacuzzi, you
       D              F
 can't make me settle down,
           G                 Bb   
I'd rather kick and jump and bite 
                D
and scratch and scream until I'm 
blue.
  G              A        Bm     
I may as well be hyper as long as
           A G
 I'm still around,
                 D               
'Cause I'll have lots of time to 
D4      D             G    
be laid back when I'm six feet 
         D
underground.

[Chorus]
                        A          
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll 
   G                            
be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be 
 D
mellow when I'm dead.
                        A          
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll 
   G                            
be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be 
 D
mellow when I'm dead.
             G        D           
When are you   cosmic cowboys 
  G                   A
gonna get it through your heads?
                        Bm         
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll 
          A        G             
be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be 
A               D
mellow when I'm dead.

[Verse 2]
        D                  C     
I can't stand the smell of 
G          D                   F
incense, I don't really like to jog,

   G             Bb             D
No Joni Mitchell 8-tracks in my 
    F
car, ooh...
       D          C   G       D 
I hate anything organic, even 
                   F
health food makes me sick.
          G                Bb     
You won't catch me sipping Perrier
      D
 down in some sushi bar, I tell you!
G                 A              
Now's the time to go for all the 
Bm        A   G
gusto you can grab,
            D                 
You'll have plenty of time to be 
D4     D               G        
low-key when you're laid out on 
       D
the slab.

[Chorus]
                        A          
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll 
   G                            
be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be 
 D
mellow when I'm dead.
                        A          
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll 
   G                            
be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be 
 D
mellow when I'm dead.
             G        D           
When are you   cosmic cowboys 
  G                   A
gonna get it through your heads?
                        Bm         
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll 
          A        G             
be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be 
A               D
mellow when I'm dead.
               A        Bm        
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll
           A        G             
 be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be 
A               D
mellow when I'm dead.

                   D
I don't want no part of that 
vegetarian scene, I won't buy me a 
pair of designer jeans,
   A7      Am7     A7            
No redwood hot tub to my name, I 
    D                           D7
got all that I want and if it's all 
the same to you.
  G7                    
I don't need a course in 
                   F#7            Bm
self-awareness to find out who I am.
N.C.                     A7

And I'd rather have a, a Big Mac or 
a Jumbo Jack than all the bean 
sprouts in Japan.

[Verse 3]
         D               C  G    
So don't ask me what I'm into, I 
      D                       F
don't need to prove I'm cool,
     G                     Bb     
I'll break your arm if you ask me 
          D     F
what's my sign.
        D                 C       
I won't tell you where my head's 
G          D              F
at, I don't need to see no shrink,
   G             Bb               
Psychosis may be in this year but 
    D
I'm really not that kind.
              G           A       
And I'm in no hurry to be casual, 
   Bm             A    G
in fact, I think, I'll wait.
          D

Until I'm pushing up the daisies 
like wow, man, can you relate?

I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll 
be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be 
mellow when I'm dead.
               A        Bm        
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll
           A        G             
 be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be

mellow when I'm dead.

I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll

mellow when I'm dead.
