This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

B D A E A B

I hate to do this but you're a pain in the neck

B D A E A B

I thought you knew this you're handing me a canceled check

B D A E A B

you're so helpless your girlfriends think you're a saint

B D A E A D

I'll give you a quarter I'll keep my judgements to myself

D F#

and i get caught up in the moonlight

B B7

reaching out for a rotten egg I don't want to beg

G F# B

it's crystal clear your time is nearly gone

count your blessings and do the things that you should

o the has-beens that never had it so good

stormy weather the kids are making a racket

in the wilderness the wild lives are so mild
