Almost positive this is right. Some parts are pretty ambiguous because this song
isn't played with chords, but it should make sense if you play around with it a
little. If you have any questions contact me at alphadude500@yahoo.com
Intro: C
Verse:
C G F
So now I am older
Em F
Than my mother and father
Em Dm
When they had their daughter
G F G G7
Now what does that say about me?
C G F
Oh how could I dream of
Em F
Such a selfless and true love
Em Dm
Could I wash my hands of?
G F G G7
Just lookin out for me

Chorus:
F Em Dm Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be
F Em Dm F G G7
Oh man oh my oh me
F Em Dm Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be
F Em Dm F G G7
Oh man oh my oh me
In dirth or in excess
Both the slave and the empress
Will return to the dirt I guess
Naked as when they came
I wonder if I'll see
Any faces above me
Or just cracks in the ceiling
Nobody else to blame
Chorus repeat
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
Every piece of your dowry
Throw them into the tomb with me
Bury them with my name
Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering
In my underwaaaa
Em Dm
aaaay
G F G G7
ooooo
F Em Dm (hold)
Oh man what I used to be
F Em Dm Dsus2
Montezuma to tripoli
F Em Dm F G
Oh man oh my oh me
