Living In The Future
Capo:no capo
E
Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
E A
Jumped off the roof today
A
Some say he fell but I could tell
B(or B7) E
He did himself away
E
Well his eyes weren't bright
Like they were the night
E A
We played checkers on the train
well god bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
B(B7)
but hes a dead cat just the same....
Thats the verse...all the chords are the same for each one...
A E
We are living in the future
A E
I tell you how I know
A E
I read it in the paper
B(B7) E
fifteen years ago
A E
We're all driving rocket ships
A E
and talking with our minds
A E
wearin turquois jewelery
B(B7) E
And standin in soup lines
B (B7)
Standin in soup lines

Jake the barber's lonely daughter

Went down to her daddy's shop

She plugged herself to a barber pole

At the all night picture show

Where they grind out sex and they rate it with an "X"

Just to make a young man's pants grow

No tops no bottoms just hands and feet

Screaming the posters out on the street

Strangling the curious and the weak
D7 G
We give them what they wanna see
D7 G
Yeah we give 'em what they wanna see - O
