Capo 5 (all chords relative to capo) Intro: C F C G C F In Delaware when I was younger C G I would live a life obscene C F In the spring I had great hunger C G I was Brando, I was Dean Em Blaspheming booted blue jeaned baby boy Em Oh, how I made them turn their heads Em The townie brownie girls, they jumped for joy G And begged me bless them in their beds C F C G C F In Delaware when I was younger C G I would row upon the lake C F In the spring I had great hunger C G I was Keats, I was Blake Em My pimpled pencilled pains I'd bring Em To frogs who sat entranced Em My drift dream ditties I would sing G The water striders danced C F C G C F In Delaware when I was younger C G They thought St. Andrew had sufficed C F But in the spring I had great hunger C G I was Buddha, I was Christ Em You wicked wise men, where's your wonder? Em You Pharisees one day will pay Em See my lightning, hear my thunder G I am truth, I know the way C F C G C F In Delaware when I was younger End on C
