E7
I''m gonna spend all my money
E7
Gonna spend all my time
E7
I''m gonna spend the music
E7
''Cause the music is mine
E7
I''m gonna spend myself
E7
For the sake of the rhyme
A7 E7
But I''ll save a little bit for my father
A7 E7
Gonna save a little bit for my father
[Chorus]
E7
I''m gonna pack my suitcase
E7
Gonna run to the sea
E7
I''m gonna run as far
E7
As I can away from me
E7
I''m gonna take comfort
E7
In the town of the tree
A7 E7
I would stop but then I wouldn''t go farther
A7
And that would really break the heart
E7
Of my father
