The Great Gold Sheep

Fm

[Verse]
Eb           Fm C7     Db
I'm going to do what I like
             Ab         Eb
I'm going to live how I want
Eb           Fm      C7            Db
I'm going to build myself a great estate
             Ab          Bb7
With lots of statues out front


[Chorus]
Fm                       C7
Choirs from the Curtis Institute
Db
Singing me to sleep
Fm             C7                  Db     Fm
Wake up and worship the great gold sheep


[Verse]
Eb           Fm       C7              Db
I'm going to walk the pathways of the ancients
             Ab             Eb
I'm going to let my name be known
Eb           Fm      C7                  Db
I'm going to see the wild haunts of this world
            Ab               Bb7
And carve a place out all my own


[Chorus]
Fm                 C7
Heat up the iron until it glows
Db
Burn the brand so deep
Fm             C7                  Db
Wake up and worship the great gold sheep


[Bridge]
Ab           Eb                Db
There's only one, splendid and fine
Ab        Eb                   Db
The ages attest its wondrous design
Ab         Eb            C7        Db
You and me stand somehow above the fray
Ab            Eb        Bb7                      Fm
And name everyone who's throwing their chance away


[Verse]
Eb           Fm       C7           Db
I'm going to write my name on everything
             Ab              Eb
I'm going to leave a lasting legacy
Eb          Fm                 C7                 Db
And when my body's thrown with great force from a window
              Ab                   Bb7
The dogs will fight for whatever's left of me


[Chorus]
Fm             C7
Shallow grave among the weeds
Db
Where the pale worms creep
Fm          C7                     Db    Fm
Wake up and worship the great gold sheep
