Verse 1
Em 
On your marks, get set,  (E minor) 
Bo! here I come again
With lyrics on my lips,
my fingertips and in my brain.
I travel non stop yes to entertain
By car, coach, train, ship or plane.
I've been to Italy, Belgium,
France and Spain
And smoked sensi legally
G 
Em 
 (G major) in Am (E minor) sterdam.
Met all kinds of people throughout the UK
And been around America
again and again.
Different places yes different climates yes
But one thing most definitely is the same
A lot of crazy members
of the human race
Seem to take the life for one big game.
A 
 (A major)

I've seen so many  (E minor) people
end up insane
Because they couldn't handle

Well some turn to drugs  (D major) like
Em

words in vain? (no way)
Still to spread peace and
love is my only aim
And from this path I refuse toain.
I'd rather be poor and living in the drain
