[Verse 1]
  G            C    Am
Oh, I wrote my name
  G     D            C     Am
On the back of your hand
  D                   C
I wrapped it in leather
  G           D
And buried it deep in the sand.


[Chorus]
              C
And you, you're in your houseboat
D           C      Am
Me, I'm in my tree
   D              C Am
Oh, good Lord, baby
   G                     D
Ain't it great to be free.

[Verse 2]
D                    C
As you float down the river
D             C
Down to the sea
D                C
I'll set fire to the forest
   G               D
It'll burn down on me.


[Chorus]
           C        Am
Oh, I wrote my name
     D              C   Am
On the back of your hand
     D             C    Am
I wrapped it in leather
      G                    D
And I buried it deep in the sand.
               C     D
Oh, I wrote my name
                  C       D
On the back of your hand
              C
And if I'm to blame
             G                    D        G
You'll find me buried in the sand.
