i wear a straw hat for a crown
F# C# D#maj7+5/C Badd9
the long and lonesome road is home sweet home
F# C#
so i hang my hat , wherever im at
Badd9
a few loyal subjects gather round
F# C# D#maj7+5/D Cm9 B
and toss me a coin before its time that i roam

took my castles in spain , my fifteen minutes o fame

i buried it six feet deep
F# [ ch ] C#/F [ /Ch ] B/D# D#maj7+5/C B
along with a few choice pieces of at tire
F# G#m7 [ ch ] F#/A# [ /Ch ]
at times i take eight by tens from way back when
BaddD9
and throw them into a great big heap
A#7+5 D#m7 G#13 C#7+9 C7+9 A#7+5 A7 – 5
i watch them burn while i dance around the fire
[ ch ] C#7/G# [ /Ch ] G#m7
cause its a joyful thing to beat my wings
C#7 G#m7
and let the caged up bird go free
[ ch ] C#7/G# [ /Ch ] G#m7
before i turn to dust to put my trust
B/C#
in something bigger than me
