[Transition 1]
For those having trouble, take heart, as this is the only "hard" reach of the song.  Your pinky
should be able to stretch from the fifth fret to the seventh. This goes straight into the chorus.
 
"Watch out, cause..."

[Verse 2]
"So New York City I'll see you soon."
"Spend all my money on some elbow room."
"Yeah, wander around like I got some place fancy to go."
"Oh, I'm the King of Brooklyn for all you know."
 
[Transition 2]
The same as the first transition, but linger on that last note for a longer period of time before
 going into the second chorus.
 
[Chorus 2]
"Watch out, cause here I come, bored and lazy.  Yeah here I come just passin' through."
"Follow me beyond the mountain, howl at the ol' big moon."
"Strip them clothes right off your body, dress your skin in sticks and stones."
"Doesn't matter where we're headed, cause some of us were built, some of us were built,
some of us were built to roam."
