[Continue intro chords]
One night I upon my motorcycle
sped
And smashed my body so that
All my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close
and whispered to my bleeding head
[Tacet]
'You are the son of a mother-fucker'
one two three four
F#
I stood all night and held her hand
G C# G# G F# F#/E
The tropic heat well I'll be damned
F#
Land of plenty, land of fun
G C# G# G F# F#/E C# G# G F# F#/E
To find out I'm Nimrod's Son
B A G
Oh bury me far away please
F#
Bury me
[Repeat this]

[And then add the chords:]
C# D B C# C# D B C#
The joke is not upon me
In my motorcycle mirror
I think about the life I've had
And how my soul's in pink[?]
and the holes where I had bled
My image spoke to me
Yes to me and upped and said
'You are the son of incestuous union'
One two three
Now my head is clear
My bought
My daughter's pure
My son is whole
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's Son
Oh bury me far away please
Bury me
