I once met this old wise man
G
He invited me into his caravan
D
We sat down for a cup of tea
G
He sat down very gingerly
D
He said he's still got a sore back
G D
From the time, on the roof with Jack
D
We were on the roof one day,
G
when suddenly I heard Jack say
Em G
"Look out for that crack!?
Em G D
Phewhack! I was lying on my back
D
When I was just your age,
G
I was already working
D
For a shilling a day
G
It was just enough for mom to say
Em G D
Ohhhh Johnny you make me so proud!
D
Pa would come home from work, and say
G D G
"John, one day, you'll work with me down at the factory."
Em G D
But I don't wanna work in no factory
Em G D
So I packed my bags and I headed for the tree.
D G
I was only away from home for about an hour
D G
But i was home in time for tea
D G D G
I said very politely that I didn't want to work in no factory.
Em G
Pa said John you're a second-class citizen,
D G
and you're never gonna get very far
Em G
I said Pa, I'm gonna see the world, I'm gonna see it all
Em G D
I'm gonna be all that I can be, and more.
D G D G
Daddy finished his cup of tea, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a key
D
He said you can have my old caravan,
G Em G
I won't be needing it any more
Em G D
Because I've see all I wanna see, and more.
