[Verse 1]
DCGDF
I don't care about your karma, I don't care about what's hip,
GBbDF
No space cadet's gonna tell me what to do.
DCGDF
I won't swim in your jacuzzi, you can't make me settle down,
GBbD
I'd rather kick and jump and bite and scratch and scream until I'm blue.
GABmAG
I may as well be hyper as long as I'm still around,
DD4DGD
'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back when I'm six feet underground.
[Chorus]
AGD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
AGD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
GDGA
When are you cosmic cowboys gonna get it through your heads?
BmAGAD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
DCGDF
I can't stand the smell of incense, I don't really like to jog,
GBbDF
No Joni Mitchell 8-tracks in my car, ooh...
DCGDF
I hate anything organic, even health food makes me sick.
GBbD
You won't catch me sipping Perrier down in some sushi bar, I tell you!
GABmAG
Now's the time to go for all the gusto you can grab,
DD4DGD
You'll have plenty of time to be low-key when you're laid out on the slab.
[Chorus]
AGD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
AGD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
GDGA
When are you cosmic cowboys gonna get it through your heads?
BmAGAD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
ABmAGAD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.

N.C. A7 D
I don't want no part of that vegetarian scene, I won't buy me a pair of designer jeans,
A7Am7A7DD7
No redwood hot tub to my name, I got all that I want and if it's all the same to you.
G7F#7Bm
I don't need a course in self-awareness to find out who I am.
N.C. A7 A D
And I'd rather have a, a Big Mac or a Jumbo Jack than all the bean sprouts in Japan.

[Verse 3]
DCGDF
So don't ask me what I'm into, I don't need to prove I'm cool,
GBbDF
I'll break your arm if you ask me what's my sign.
DCGDF
I won't tell you where my head's at, I don't need to see no shrink,
GBbD
Psychosis may be in this year but I'm really not that kind.
GABmAG
And I'm in no hurry to be casual, in fact, I think, I'll wait.
D N.C.
Until I'm pushing up the daisies like wow, man, can you relate?
[Outro Chorus]
N.C. Bm A G A D
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
ABmAGAD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
ABmAGAD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
ABmAGAD
I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
