    A                           G                              A 
I'd rather have a shitty girlfriend than a shitty car 
         A                                                          G                A 
If my girlfriend starts to get on my nerves I can travel really far 
    A                                             G             A 
I'd rather have a shitty meal than a shitty resume 
             A                                        G                          A 
Cause a totally awesome resume will feed me steak one day 
    A                                    G                A 
I'd rather have a shitty body than a shitty voice 
           A                                                              G 
On my body I can wear some clothes but with my voice I have 
    A 
no choice 

G                       A                      D                     D* 
Feed me peas & feed me corn & feed me wild oats 
G                        A                     D                                   D* 
Let's move to the hills together & raise some chicken & goats 
  G                       A                    D                                   D* 
I don't need tofu if I've got you to help me forget those buggers 
G                      A                  D 
We'll forget our differences & live like a couple tree huggers 

      A                                   G                      A 
The earth is so polluted I can never walk barefoot ouch 
     A                                                                    G 
On earth day I was going to plant some trees but I planted my 
                A 
ass on the couch 
  A                                               G                  A 
I try to eat what's good for me but I like captain crunch 
        A                                        G                        A 
& an extra large snickers bar & a glass of hawaiian punch 
         A                                                        G 
I was going to join an ad hoc commitee but I don't know what 
           A 
ad hoc means 
  A                                                 G                            A 
I think it's a special kind of rock for stonewashed denim jeans 

G                       A                      D                     D* 
Feed me peas & feed me corn & feed me wild oats 
G                        A                     D                                   D* 
Let's move to the hills together & raise some chicken & goats 
  G                       A                    D                                   D* 
I don't need tofu if I've got you to help me forget those buggers 
G                      A                  D                                             D 
We'll forget our differences & live like a couple tree huggers 

  A                                                         G                          A 
I went to a special school for kids whose parents were catholic 
     A                                                                 G 
On hot dog day we could eat what we wanted I always ate four 
         A 
& got sick 
           A                                                 G              A 
Once I kissed a girl behind the convent & I got really flustered 
    A                                                     G                    A 
I'll never forget the way she smelled she tasted just like mustard 
        A                                              G                                A 
Now every time I go to the market & I reach for the mustard row 
  A                                             G                      A 
I have to hurry up & leave or my crotch begins to grow 

G                       A                      D                     D* 
Feed me peas & feed me corn & feed me wild oats 
G                        A                     D                                   D* 
Let's move to the hills together & raise some chicken & goats 
  G                       A                    D                                   D* 
I don't need tofu if I've got you to help me forget those buggers 
G                      A                  D 
We'll forget our differences & live like a couple tree huggers 

A                                                  G 
As a child I was pretty sick I could make my arm come out of the 

socket 
  A                                                          G                     A 
I used to like a girl scout once she put her hand inside my pocket 
  A                                      G                A 
I used to go to church alot I was an alter boy 
            A                                                G                      A 
I got to ring the bells at communion time it gave me special joy 
  A                                                      G                      A 
I don't know what I believe in now I'm filled with foggy guilt 
     A                                                          G 
I'm too scared not to believe in god I never touch myself under 
     A 
the quilt 

G                       A                      D                     D* 
Feed me peas & feed me corn & feed me wild oats 
G                        A                     D                                   D* 
Let's move to the hills together & raise some chicken & goats 
  G                       A                    D                                   D* 
I don't need tofu if I've got you to help me forget those buggers 
G               A                            D                                 Dus2 D 
Everyday'll be hot dog day & we'll live like a couple tree huggers
