riff 1 2X
I don't know just where I'm going
D G D G D<---- end of riff 1, strum
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can this chord, and the
G D rest of the chords
Cos it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell ya things aren't quite the same when you hit the word
G D "know" at the end of the
When I'm rushing on my run verse, the D chord marks the
G D beginning of riff 1 again,
And I feel just like Jesus' son which contintues until the
G D "nullify" in the next verse.
And I guess that I just don't know this pattern continues thru
G D G D G the whole song.
And I guess that I just don't know
I have made a big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
Cos when the blood begins to flow
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
riff2 2X
You can't help me not you guys
Oh, all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
Oh, in a sailor's suit and cap
riff2 2X
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all the evils of this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Her_____oin, it'll be the death of me
Her_____oin, it's my wife, and it's my life
Because a mainline in my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off as dead
riff2 4X
Cos when the smack begins to flow
Oh, I really don't care anymore
'Bout all the jim-jims in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam
riff 2 4x
Cos when the smack begins to flow
And I really don't care anymore
riff 2 2x
When that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Then I thank God that I'm as good as dead
And thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
riff1 2X
