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

   F        Em        Dm
Oh man what I used to be
   G   F  Dm F7 G    G7
Oh man oh my oh me
   F        Em        Dm
Oh man what I used to be
   G   F  Dm F7 G    G7
Oh man oh my oh me

   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    G7
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

   F        Em        Dm
Oh man what I used to be
   G   F  Dm F7 G  G7
Oh man oh my oh me
   F        Em        Dm
Oh man what I used to be
   G   F  Dm F7 G  G7
Oh man oh my oh me

( G  F  G  F )
( G  F  G )

     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      Em  Dm
   Ran my wandering mind away

G  F  G  G7
Oh

   F        Em        Dm
Oh man what I used to be
     F     Em   Dm
Montezuma to Tripoli
   G   F  Dm F7 G
Oh man oh my oh me
