Intro: C F C G
[C]In Delaware when [F]I was younger
[C]I would live [G]a life obscene
[C]In the spring [F]I had great hunger
[C]I was Brando, [G]I was Dean
[Em]Blaspheming booted blue jeaned baby boy
[Em]Oh, how I made them turn their heads
[Em]The townie brownie girls, they jumped for joy
[G]And begged me bless them in their beds
[C] [F] [C] [G]  
[C]In Delaware when [F]I was younger
[C]I would row [G]upon the lake
[C]In the spring I [F]had great hunger
[C]I was Keats, [G]I was Blake
[Em]My pimpled pencilled pains I'd bring
[Em]To frogs who sat entranced
[Em]My drift dream ditties I would sing
[G]The water striders danced
[C] [F] [C] [G]  
[C]In Delaware when [F]I was younger
[C]They thought St. Andrew [G]had sufficed
[C]But in the spring I [F]had great hunger
[C]I was Buddha, [G]I was Christ
[Em]You wicked wise men, where's your wonder?
[Em]You Pharisees one day will pay
[Em]See my lightning, hear my thunder
[G]I am truth, I know the way
[C] [F] [C] [G]  
[C]In Delaware when [F]I was younger
End on C
