INTRO

G        Am        C
G        Am        C


VERSE 1

          G             Am
Yeah well no one really understands,

  C
A shopping cart is filled with cans,

      G              Am                C
And a top hat, and a snare drum, and a horn.

      G               Am
And a poster and some magazines,

        C
With my picture, and some magic beans,

      G               Am              C
And a blanket, that I got, when I was born.


CHORUS 1

D riff                              Am
Different people do the same things everyday,

       C
I just look the other way,

      D riff
But I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...

D riff                   Am
I deny a problem with my attitude,

           C
Cuz I will work for food,

       D riff
Yeah I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...


VERSE 2

I wasn't always pararnoid,
Sang a song on Uncle Floyd,
But the records, never sold, and that was bad.
And my Mommy still took care of me,
Till I was almost thirty-three
Now she's gone up to heaven, to see Dad.

CHORUS 2

Sheriffs came with pistols and their starry sleeves,
Gimme thirty days to leave,
And I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...

D riff                        Am
No one wants to pay me for my broken heart,

             C
So now I've got this shopping cart,

      D riff
And I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...

G            Am             C
On.....

G               Am              C
On, and on, and on, and on, and on.....


VERSE 3 (same as Verse 1 above)

CHORUS 3

Different people do the same things everyday,
I just look the other way,
And I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...

D riff                       Am
I can't live without eternal gratitude,

           C
Cuz I will work for food,

D riff
And I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...

G          Am          C
On...

G              Am              C
On, and on and on, and on, and on....

G               Am              G               Am
On, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on and on and

G          Am          C
On...


Have fun!!!
