Words and Music by Raccoon

As recorded on Loose In The City

 

The chord progression to this song is: 

·        C, F, C, G, C

 

           C

Man I like to sit and think about the way I like to sit and think

  F

About the things I like to sit and think about

C                    G                           C

Don’t stop me now cuz I think I’m thinkin'

 

C                                                                F

Some people think that we can’t think on our own

                                                 C

So they try to do it for us in our home

                                         G

On the TV set and the radio

 

                   C                             F                     C

They tell us lies like socialize and idolize, realize, nationalize

                              G

And rationalize and specialize just for you

 

          C

And I like to think that when you think of someone

                F

That that someone thinks of you

        C                          G                                                    C

So I wrote this song to let you know that I’m thinking of you too

 

          C

And I like to sit and think about the way I like to sit and think

  F

About the things I like to sit and think about

C                    G                           C

Don’t stop me now cuz I think I’m thinkin'

 

            C                                         F

I think God is my vacuum cleaner and I am a heavy shag

      C                                            G

He sucks all of my cares away and puts 'em in his Hefty Bag, yep

C                            F                          C

His bag of wonder - His bag of hope is better than a bottle of booze

            G

And it’s better than a bag of dope, yippee

 

C                                               F

I am a chosen particle - He’s got extra suction power

      C                                              G

To take me from this dirty world up to his ivory tower, eureka

C                                          F

You might live in other bags - You might talk with other shags

      C                                             G                                C

But you may be a shallow shag with Satan’s carpet cleaning tag

 

                  C

And there’s one little, two little, three little Indians

F

Four little, five little, six little Indians

C

Seven, eight, nine little, ten thousand Indians

G                                 C

Starvin' on government land

 

         C

They took the sheep, they took the horses

F

Then they changed the river’s courses

C                                             G

Now they’re turning forest into sand

 

                      C

And there are one little, two little, three rebel Indians

F

Four little, five little, six rebel Indians

C

Seven, eight, nine little, ten thousand Indians

G                        C

Shotguns in their hands

 

           C

Man I like to sit and think about the way I like to sit and think

  F

About the things I like to sit and think about

C                    G                           C

Don’t stop me now cuz I think I’m thinkin'

 

C                                                                                    F

But there are some people think that we can’t think on our own

                                                 C

So they try to do it for us in our home

                                         G

On the TV set and the radio

 

C

I like to think that when you think of somebody

                F

That that somebody thinks of you

         C                         G                                                   C

So I wrote this song to let you know that I’m thinkin' of you too

 

          C

And I like to sit and think about the way I like to sit and think

  F

About the things I like to sit and think about

C                    G                           C

Don’t stop me now cuz I think I’m thinkin'
