Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Bang [D]the small rocks on the big ones
'Til [Bm]the small ones are sharp and clean
Catch [Em]something, kill something
[G]New blade cuts real keen

[Verse 2]
[G]
And then the [D]grass grows up to [F#m]cover up
[G]The firepit and the forge
[D]Half a world away [A]from
the Olduvai Gorge
[D]

[Verse 3]
Chew these roots for a toothache
Chew [Bm]these ones for atmosphere
Dream [Em]the pleasant dreams
that people dream
[G]When they grow up down here

[Verse 4]
[G]
And then the [D]grass grows up to [F#m]cover up
[G]The firepit and the forge
[D]Half a world away [A]from
the Olduvai Gorge
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
Take care of the old man
[D]See if he's in pai[G]n[D][Em]
Have somebody stay with him
[G]Comfort him when he complains

[Verse 6]
[D]Keep to ourselves mostly
Few [Bm]friends and fewer closer friends
Lead [Em]a long life if you're [G]lucky

[Verse 7]
Hope it never ends
[G]
And then the [D]grass grows up to [F#m]cover up
[G]The firepit and the forge
[D]Half a world away from
[A]the Olduvai Gorge

[Outro 1]
[D][Em][G][A][G][D]
[Em][G][D]
