F
Once I was a dyin breed
Chewin on an ancient leaf
Before we took the notion
                     C
To keep up with the times

    A#               C
And leave 'em all behind
  A#            C
Chisel to the paper
 A#             C
Tattoos on the ether
               F
Fadin' in the light

All the while I'd gorge my gut
Come the time then I would rut
Runnin’ high and low
to find my prehistoric queen

To keep me warm till Spring
When I'd go out with my friends
Graze the land and wonder
when I’d see your face again

Chorus:
Dm                    A#
till the day I met my doom
   C               F
I took one in the boiler room
Dm                 A#
To put food on the table
C                    F
Of a dying breed of man

Once I was a broken heart
And once I tore your heart apart
Once my heart put out before
I ever got to breathe

But my soul returned to seed
And come to Earth again
Clucking out a livin' as
the favorite layin' hen

Chorus:
'Til the day I met my doom
A fox got in the chicken coop
Doin' all he knew to do
to feed a hungry den

On and on down the line
I’ve swam canals and bore the hide
Of plenty births along
this ride of being born again

Once I was and you were too
And we were both the word of truth
We built this world together
with a loud and mighty bang

Lord it sounded like a train
And echoed o’er the land
And we came up with a game
to play of being born again
