[C]So now I am [G]old[F]er
[Em]Than my mother a[F]nd father
[Em]When they had th[Dm]eir daughter
Now [G]what does that [F]say about [G]me?[G7]
Oh [C]how could I [G]dream [F]of
[Em]Such a selfless and [F]true love
[Em]Could I wash my[Dm] hands of?
[G]Just lookin [F]out for [G]me[G7]

Oh [F]man what I [Em]used to [Dm]be

[F] [Em] [Dm] [F] [Em] [Dm] [G] [G7]
(Same as first verse)
In dirth or in excess
Both the slave and the empress
Will return to the dirt I guess
Naked as when they came
I wonder if I'll see
Any faces above me
Or just cracks in the ceiling
Nobody else to blame
Repeat chorus
However, only the G7 is fingerpicked
The weird "ooooh" bit just alternates between a G and F strummed
Verse 3 isstrummed lightly, aside from after "name", where the G7 is again fingerpicked
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
Every piece of your dowry
Throw them into the tomb with me
Bury them with my name
strummed lightly from here on, aside from after the G7, which is again fingerpicked
Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering
In my underwaaaa
[Em]aaa[Dm]ay
[G]oo[F]oo[G]o[G7]
F Em Dm (hold)
Oh man what I used to be
[Dm]
Mont[F]ezuma[Em] to tri[Dm]poli
Oh [F]man [Em]oh [Dm]my [F]oh [G]me
