VERSE ONE (features riff one from intro)

I'm not feeling alright today
I'm not feeling that great
I'm not catching on fire today
Love has started to fade
I'm not going to smile today
I'm not gonna laugh
You're out living it up today
I've got dues to pay

And the gravedigger puts on the forceps
The stonemason does all the work
The barber can give you a haircut
The carpenter can take you out to lunch

BRIDGE TWO (same as bridge one)

Now I just want to play on my panpipes
I just want to drink me some wine
As soon as you're born you start dyin'
So you might as well have a good time

CHORUS (the chord is just one downstroke)

D                  Em
Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell
D                  Em
Sheep go to heaven Goats...go to hell

(Riff 2 from intro x 2)

VERSE TWO (played with Riff one from intro)

I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip
I don't wanna feel the emptiness
Old marquees with stupid band names
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip

I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip
I don't wanna feel the emptiness
Old marquees with stupid band names
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip
