[Verse 1]
               Dm
I sail in the sunset's trail
                C
I'm a bit of a king
              Dm
Granny would take a trip
                         C
I've been bending the strings
                Dm
Got hammers in both my hands
                 C
Such a delicate touch
                  Dm
They say I'm from Amsterdam
                   C
Does that make me Dutch?

[Verse 2]
             Dm
Smoking the reefer
           C
Feeling my own light
                Dm
My brother's a keeper
            C
I married a TV wife
               Dm
The dеvil's Camaro
               C
Parked in the high school lot
              Dm
A little sombrеro
                    C
'Cause teacher was way too hot
