Am Am2

There's a microchip about the size of a fingernail on a cockroach

Am3 Am4

It controls all of the the power for fourteen different countries

Am Am2

Some guy in Japan who got kicked around in junior high

Am3(or this could be C) Am4

Made the thing one afternoon last June

G E Am

And I play my guitar

There's a factory in Switzerland that makes a certain wristwatch

That's precise to half a second in a hundred thousand years

Men spend lifetimes studying graphs and curves

To ensure that half a second is eternally preserved

And I play my guitar

There's a missle base in Utah that can pick out one whole country

Or a city or a street or a number on a house

Or the plastic-coated end of the shoelace threaded through

The seventh eylet of a boot splattered muddy from the road

G E

I get lost from here to Haverford

C Am3 Am

And I play my guitar

There's a company not far from here that can keep someone alive

At six hundred below zero for up to five thousand years

Or at least until their cancer or the end of their disease

Has been rendered obsolete and can easily be cured

I stayed too long out in the sun today and I've got a nasty burn

And I play my guitar

In the deep and distant future they will build a perfect rocketship

To lap the speed of light, travel slowly back in time

And maybe they'll eventually come around and visit me

Seek out my impressions, seek out my opinions

And I'll talk about Curt Schilling

And I'll talk about Alan Iverson

And I'll talk about my diesel dike mama

And I'll play my guitar

And I'll play my guitar

And I'll play my guitar
