Keep off the Grass by Todd Snider
(intro)
G--- D--- C-D- G---
(verse 1)
[G]It keeps on getting harder [D]to keep on keeping on
with [C]everybody screaming [D]orders in my [G]ear.
I want to be my own man. I'd [D]love to walk it alone.
But every[C]time I leave my home, t[D]his is what I [G]hear.
(chorus)
Keep your [C]nose clean, head above water.
keep your [G]feet on the ground. keep your hands off my daughter.
Keep your [D]back to the wind. Keep your thoughts to yourself.
An [C]eye on the clock. Keep an eye on your health.
I [D]wish they'd let me just keep to myself.
I do fine on my [G]own.
(verse 2)
[G]They say to keep up with the times, [D]keep up with the Jones.
[C]Keep up with the [D]rest of your [G]class.
So I keep an open mind in this [D]close minded world.
Keeps on [C]telling me to keep off this [G]grass.
(chorus x 2)
(lead break : verse chords)
So I [G]keep an open mind. Its a [D]close minded world.
Always [C]telling me to [D]keep of this [G]gr[C]as[G]s.[C] [G]
