[Intro]
F      C   F
 
[Verse 1]
 
In Delaware when I was younger
                 C             F
I would live the life obscene
 
In the spring I had great hunger
             C            Am
I was Brando, I was Dean
 
Blaspheming, booted, blue-jeaned baby boy
 
Oh, how I made them turn their heads
                                              C
The townie brownie girls they jumped for joy
                               C7     F      C   F
Begged me, bless them in their beds___
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
In Delaware when I was younger
           C               F
I would row upon the lake
 
In the spring I had great hunger
            C           Am
I was Keats, I was Blake
 
My pimpled pencil pains I’d bring
 
To frogs who sat entranced
                                      C
My drift-dreamed ditties I would sing
                  C7    F      C   F
The water strider danced
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
In Delaware when I was younger
                       C              F
They thought St. Andrew had sufficed
 
But in the spring I had great hunger
             C            Am
I was Buddha, I was Christ
 
You wicked wise-men, where’s your wonder?
 
You Pharisees, someday will pay
                                   C
See my lightning, hear my thunder
                       C7   F      C   F
I am truth, I know the way____
