Tuning: Standard (eBGDAE)

[D]Long [G]ago in [A]days of [D]yore
It all b[G]egan with a [A]god named[D] Thor
There were V[D]ikings and [Bm]boats
And some p[G]lans for a furniture [D]store[Dsus4][D]

It's n[D]ot a bod[G]ega, it's[A] not a mall[D]
And they sell th[G]ings for a[A]partments[D] smaller tha[A]n mine
As if th[Bm]ere were ap[G]artments smaller than[D] mine[Dsus4][D]

Ike[A]a:[Bm] ju[G]st some oak and some[D] pine and a handful [D]of N[A]orseme[Asus4]n
Ike[A]a:[Bm] se[G]lling furniture [D]for college kids and [D]divorce[A]d men[Asus4]
Everyon[G]e h[D]as a h[A7]ome
But i[G]f you don't [D]have a [A]home you can buy one [D]the[Dsus4]re[D]

So re[D]nt a [G]car or [A]take the[D] bus
Lay your c[G]ash down and [A]put your t[D]rust
In the l[A]and where the fu[Bm]rniture [G]folds to a much smalle[D]r si[Dsus4]ze[D]

[D]Billy the b[G]ookcase [A]says [D]hello
And so does a t[G]able whose name is[A] Ingo[D]
And the c[A]hair is a l[Bm]adder-back [G]birch but his friends call him Karl[D][Dsus4][D]

Ike[A]a:[Bm] ju[G]st some oak and some[D] pine and a handful [D]of N[A]orseme[Asus4]n
Ike[A]a:[Bm] se[G]lling furniture [D]for college kids and [D]divorce[A]d men[Asus4]
Everyon[G]e h[D]as a h[A7]ome
But i[G]f you don't [D]have a [A]home you can buy one [D]the[Dsus4]re[D]

[Bm] Ikea: pl[F#]ywood, brushed steel
[D] Ikea: me[A7]atballs, [Dadd4/A]tasty
[Bm] Ikea: A[F#]llen wrenches
[D]All of them for free
[Bm]All of them for me

I'm so[D]rry I s[G]aid I[A]kea s[D]ucks
I just bought a [G]table fo[A]r 60[D] bucks
And a ch[A]air and a [Bm]lamp and a [G]shelf and some candles f[D]or yo[Dsus4]u[D]

[D]I was a d[G]oubter [A]just lik[D]e you
?Till I [D]saw the [G]American[A] dream com[D]e true
In New J[A]ersey, they [Bm]got a [G]goddamned Swedis[D]h parade

Ike[A]a:[Bm] ju[G]st some oak and some[D] pine and a handful [D]of N[A]orseme[Asus4]n
Ike[A]a:[Bm] se[G]lling furniture [D]for college kids and [D]divorce[A]d men[Asus4]
Everyon[G]e h[D]as a h[A7]ome
But i[G]f you don't [D]have a [A]home you can buy one [D]the[Dsus4]re[D]
