Verse 1
G
Em
We was broke and hungry on a summer's day
Em
G
Em
to try and drive us away
G
Em
They found a dirty faced kid
G
Em
in a garbage can
B
C
And I'm alone and I'm
C
D
wildin', dead or alive,
G

G

G

dead or alive
G

And from the day my momma told me,
G
Em
boy, you packed your bag
Em
G

I'm low
Bm

And I'm alone in my highway,

Let's break it down, let's break it down
Em
G
Em
I want to tell you what the song means
Van Halen wrote it
but they don't know what it means
D
G
He's in his room, he's on his bed
Em
G
Em
Giant headphones sitting
on his ample head
He thinks that Freddie Mac's
the coolest thing he's ever seen,
D
G
but then he hears Dave,
Em
D
Em
and maybe even a fur collar,
There's a spotlight somewhere,
D
G
but he sadly is not in it,
and so he goes to school.
He tries to love one person.
Bb
G
It isn't glamorous.
It's not quite amorous.
G
Em
so he builds up his stamina
G
Am
Em
G
and then one day he walks into a bar
and they touch him bad
he knows he's found his path
What's the craziest thing we could do?
Let's hatch an insane plan.
D
Em
Let's blow up social standards.
Let's have a night of pleasure.
Let's challenge every rule
and be more human again.
G
Em
And then a voice spoke up,
I have a better idea
so tiny.
This idea, it will spread
like giant's blood in a waterbed.
G
C
G
Em
we said, yes, let's hear it.
G
Em
She fingered her hair.
She said, what we should do
is so extremely fucking rare,
C
G
the authorities will freak.
but it sounded like fun.
She drew a tactical map.
D
Em
We followed it like a weatherman.
G
Em
We walked out to the street.
G
Em
We walked into a van.
We put on outfits
that would have gotten our mother's ban.
G
Em
G
Em
G
We drove it to the schools.
We scoured the youth of America
It was a boy.
Gm
G
Em
He was around 12.
He had the roundest face,
a face his parents could love.
G
Em
And we took that face,
G
Em
and we held it in our hands.
C
G
but instead we gave him
a beard of mud and dirt
We even soiled his shirt,
We held him high
He didn't yell or cry.
Gm
Em
Like a middle -aged man,
and so we lowered that boy
Into a black plastic
G
Em
From the day my momma told me
G
Em
Boy you pack your bag s
G
Em
They found a dirty -faced kid
G
Em
In a garbage can
And it happened just like I said
C
B
I'm on the highway,
D
G
Em
G
Dead or alive

I'm a ghost

I'm gone

I'm a spark of the rising
