Now [F]he stole the crown
Do the buggers never stop?

[F]Hoo Hey- Wai[C]t a minute pop

[Verse 4]

[F]I got my grammar in the[C] 5 and dime
I'm givin' all the words up

[Verse 7]
Now I know the words are mine

If ya close your eyes- do ya pic
[Am]ture [G]money?[Em][C]
Did he change his mind? Does

[Verse 8]
The [G]blind men sing

And they emphasized
[C]Wanted for [F]life
Hoo hoo [C]I'm wanted for life

So, [G]Swing that stick
Throw that rock
[F]Inch by inch
Goin step by step
Yeah- [C]wait a [F]minute pop
[C]Wait a minute pop

[Verse 11]
Now [G]Upon this earth
We stand on dirt

But see that's the [C]way it [F]goes
I'm moving on a [C]gravel road

[Verse 14]
[G]Pardon me sir

Maybe that's the [C]way it [F]goes
I guess that that's [C]the way it goes

I'm moving on a [C]gravel [F]road
Maybe that's [C]the way it goes
