Verse 
          E7 
I'm gonna spend all my money 
      E7 
Gonna spend all my time 
    E7 
I'm gonna spend the music 
E7 
'Cause the music is mine 
    E7 
I'm gonna spend myself 
        E7 
For the sake of the rhyme 
         A7                       E7 
But I'll save a little bit for my father 
      A7                       E7 
Gonna save a little bit for my father 

    E7 
I'm gonna pack my suitcase 
      E7 
Gonna run to the sea 
    E7 
I'm gonna run as far 
     E7 
As I can away from me 
    E7 
I'm gonna take comfort 
       E7 
In the town of the tree 
        A7                          E7 
I would stop but then I wouldn't go farther 
               A7 
And that would really break the heart 
      E7 
Of my father 

La la la da da da...
