There is a Amman with no Amface And a Fname I don't Eremember. Who Amlives in a Amhouse in the Fmiddle of the Ewoods. And he sAmaid once 'SAmon, don't Fyou laugh out Eloud for Fthey are listening, EOh they are listening AmOoooooooAmooh you'Fve got to be Estrong. Am Am F E AmOoooooooooh Amyou've got to keep Fholding Eon. FNow it's just a matter of EtiAmme

AmThey provide the Ampaint for the Fpicture perfect Emasterpiece that you will (Ampaint onAm!) Fthe insides of yEour eyelids; AmCan you possibly Amsee anyFthing you want to Esee? No (FHell No!) There's nothiEng wrong with the way I see. Amand he wanted to Ambe a soldier in the Fnext great Ewar. he wanted to Amkill and fight and Ammaim but not be Ftold what he was Efighting for. AmAnd that's Amthe way it's Fgoing to have to Ebe my friend, And Fthat's the way it's going to Ehave to be my friend,

I passed a Amman on the Amcorner in the Fcity Eyesterday singing 'AmYada yada Amyada and Ftomorrow it'll Enever end' and I Amnever thought I'd Amlive to see Fanother sunnEy day but I'm Fhere and I fear I'll be Ehere till the end.
[Chorus]
So Amwatch your Ammouth. Or you're Fgoing to make a Egrave mistake. AmHold your Amtongue. Or you're Fgoing to catch a Ebullet in the head. So Amwatch your Ammouth. Or you're Fgoing to make a Egrave mistake. FDon't die for anything Eless than the best of life.

The Amthings you said Fwent to your head, But Cyou never tried to Gunderstand: AmWhat they'll take: you will never take Fback, cause they take, (what they take) what Cthey can because they Gcan from you. AmYou follow me and you follow me but you Fnever ask why. CAnd I wonder what you're under could Gthis be another piece of the 'AmI don't know I just Fdo what they say because Cthey say what to do in a Gmatter of fact way' AmBut don't stop because you Fmight get burned. CAnd you might just learn to Gstand on your own two feet. AmAnd I think that it's Fneat how you learn to Crepeat everything that you Ghear in the street so well. Am F C G (Am) You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well. Am F C G (Am) You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well.
[Interlude] Am (strum with the horn blasts: buh ... buh buh ... buh ) (Normal Speed) [Verse 3] Oh well..
And Ameveryone was Amresting because they Fthought it was the Eend. And Ameven if it Amwasn't they Fdecided they'd preEtend. And Amsomewhere in the Amdistance I could Fhear him whispeEring 'You can Ffight all you want you'll never Ewin in the end'.

AmSometimes in the Amevening when I'm Flying in my Ebed I am Amtaken to the Amforest to the Fisolated Eshed. And I Amwake with his Amwords resoFnating in my Ehead. And I Fcan't stop thinking about the Egist of what he said.
[Chorus] He said:
AmWatch your Ammouth. Or you're Fgoing to make a Egrave mistake. AmHold your Amtongue. Or you're Fgoing to catch a Ebullet in the head. AmWatch your Ammouth.
