[Verse 2]
'Cause you [G]made a liv[D]ing [G]off

Better [G]turn your head, old man Bobby,
'cause it's your turn now

[Verse 3]
I said, Now [E]wait a minute my
friends now now [Eb]not so fast
Ain't [E]there some kind of better
way for us [Eb]to get back?
Let's give [E]him a [D]gui[Bm]tar and
see [D]if he can [Bm]write [E]a song
And if [D]he gets an [Bm]F well I gue[D]ss
that'll [Bm]be his s[E]wan song

[Verse 4]
'Cause [G]you made a living off

You're just [G]a critic in a critical
[D]time (old man Bobby)
And I [G]know that your head's on

[G]Hendrix was there with
