[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
   G   F  Dm F  G  G7
Oh man oh my oh me
   F          Em      Dm Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be
   G   F  Dm F  G  G7
Oh man oh my oh me

[Bass part]
F E D A G F D F G


[Verse 2]
C              G  F
In dirth or in excess
Em       F
Both the slave and the empress
Em                Dm
Will return to the dirt I guess
G     F           G
Naked as when they came
C           G    F
I wonder if I'll see
Em         F
Any faces above me
Em                   Dm
Or just cracks in the ceiling
G     F       G
Nobody else to blame


[Chorus]

   F          Em      Dm  Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be, oh
G   F  Dm F  G  G7
man oh my oh me
   F          Em      Dm  Dsus2
Oh man what I used to be, oh
G   F  Dm F  G  G7
man oh my oh me

(E) G   F   G   F  etc...
    Oooooh ooooh oooOOoohooh etc...


[Verse 3]
     C              G    F
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
Em                  F
Every piece of your dowry
Em                  Dm
Throw them into the tomb with me
G         F       G
Bury them with my name
C             G   F
Unless I have someday
Em                  F
Ran my wandering mind away
Em Dm
aaaay
G F G G7
ooooo


[Outro]

   F          Em      Dm
Oh man what I used to be
     F    Em     Dm   Dsus2
Montezuma to tripoli, oh
G   F  Dm F  G
man oh my oh me
