Intro: F C F C Bb Dm G (nc) Verse 1: Am G She's a box car rollin' by Am G Like a black star in the sky Am G She's a failure once or twice Am G Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice Pre-chorus: Am G Flowers fly when we grow old Am G Snakes get high, or so I'm told Am G She's an eagle out on the road Am G Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold Chorus: F C All of my love and half my kisses F C Superstar don't do the dishes Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free F C Come on now, you lazy cowboy F C Heads or tails, but not right now, boy Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free Verse 2: Am G She's a rain bird on the prowl Am G Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow Am G She's a forest that we burned Am G Just a blueprint for a life that we had never learned Pre-chorus: Am G Flowers fly when we grow old Am G Snakes get high, or so I'm told Am G She's a lynch mob on the street Am G Take another step and I will kill the beat Chorus: F C All of my love and half my kisses F C Superstar don't do the dishes Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free F C Come on now, you lazy cowboy F C Heads or tails, but not right now, boy Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free Solo (x3): Am Am G G Bridge: Am G She's a bus stop, glockenspiel Am G She's a simulation life that you thought was real Am G She's an image that we blurred Am G It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr Chorus: F C All of my love and half my kisses F C Superstar don't do the dishes Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free F C Come on now, you lazy cowboy F C Heads or tails, but not right now, boy Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free Outro: F C F C Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free F C F C Bb Dm G I just want the great apes to be free This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
