D G A D
long ago in days of yore
G A D
it all began with a god named thor
D Bm
there were vikings and boats
G D Dsus4 D
and some plans for a furniture store

D G A D
it’s not a bodega , it’s not a mall
G A D A
and they sell things for apartments smaller than mine
Bm G D Dsus4 D
as if there were apartments smaller than mine

A Bm G D D A Asus4
ikea : just some oak and some pine and a handful of norsemen
A Bm G D D A Asus4
ikea : selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
G D A7
everyone has a home
G D A D Dsus4 D
but if you don’t have a home you can buy one there

D G A D
so rent a car or take the bus
G A D
lay your cash down and put your trust
A Bm G D Dsus4 D
in the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size

D G A D
billy the bookcase says hello
G A D
and so does a table whose name is ingo
A Bm G D Dsus4 D
and the chair is a laddEr – back birch but his friends call him karl

A Bm G D D A Asus4

G D A7
everyone has a home
G D A D Dsus4 D
but if you don’t have a home you can buy one there

Bm F#
ikea : plywood , brushed steel
D A7 Dadd4/A
ikea : meatballs , tasty
Bm F#
ikea : allen wrenches
D
all of them for free
Bm
all of them for me

D G A D
i’m sorry i said ikea sucks
G A D
i just bought a table for 60 bucks
A Bm G D Dsus4 D
and a chair and a lamp and a shelf and some candles for you

D G A D
i was a doubter just like you
D G A D
till i saw the american dream come true
A Bm G D
in new jersey , they got a goddamned swedish parade
