D#              A#
It ain't easy, living like a gypsy
G#                     D#
Tell your honey how I feel
D#                   A#
I've been dreaming, floating down the stream and
G#                            D#
Losing touch with all that's real

Whole earth lover, keeping under cover
Never know where you've been
You've been fading, always out parading
Keep in touch with Mama Kin

            G#                          D#
Well you've always got your tail on the wag
         G#                                D#     F F# G
Shooting fire from your mouth just like a dragon
    G#                    D#
You act like a perpetual drag
     F
You better check it out because someday soon
                                 A#  F# G G# A A#
You'll have to climb back on the wagon

D#              A#
It isn't easy, living like you wanna
G#                             D#
It's so hard to find peace of mind, Yes it is
     D#                   A#
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
     G#                        D# F F# G
But don't forget to drop me a line

G#                                           D#
Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
G#                              D#  F F# G
Working for your dad is just a drag
      G#                              D#
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
     F
You better check it out because someday soon
                                 A#   F# G G# A A#
You'll have to climb back on the wagon

Chorus:
A# A# D#
       Keep in touch with Mama Kin
A# A# D#
       Tell her where you've gone and been
A# A# D#
       Living out your fantasy
A# A# D#
       Sleeping late and smoking tea

A# A# D# G#                 F#   C#
        Keep in touch with Mama Kin
A# A# D# G#                    F#       C#
        Tell her where you've gone and been
A# A# D# G#              F#   C#
        Living out your fantasy
A# A# D# G#                F#      C# B A#
        Sleeping late and smoking tea

It ain't easy living like you wanna
It's so hard to find piece of mind, yes it is
The way I see it, you got to say 'shee-it'
But don't forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen
And working for daddy's such a drag
You still stuff your mouth with his beans
You better check it out or someday soon
You gonna climb back on the wagon

Chorus
