Am Am/B C     Em    Am    D
Am Am/B C     Em    D     G

[Verse 1]
G        Am             C           Em
I will invite you, I'll give you my bell
    G            Am               D
And then you can ring it and go, "Fair thee well"
        Am     Am/B  C          Em            D
And the leaves don't fall on my grandfather's grave
           Am         Am/B     C               G
'Cause the trees have been replaced with the city buildings

[Chorus]
Am Am/B C     Em    Am    D
Hmmm,   hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Am Am/B C     Em    D     G
Hmmm,   hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

[Verse 2]
G             Am        C           Em
Gather 'round people as fast as you can
          G            Am             D
I'm gonna tell another story about an animal called man
         Am     Am/B C              Em          D
Well, he struts all around with his tailor made suits
        Am    Am/B    C              G
But his mind is all filled up with bullshit

[Chorus]
Am Am/B C     Em    Am    D
Yeah,   yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Am Am/B C     Em    D     G
Hmmm,   hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

[Verse 3]
G       Am          C            Em
Join in singing and feeling this place
            G       Am            D
I'd like to be in a lifetime that you can't erase
       Am     Am/B   C          Em           D
If you don't like my story then don't buy my songs
         Am          Am/B     C         G
'Cause I wouldn't want you to listen to anything wrong
