F   C    F    C    Am     G        F    Am     G        C
[Verse]
C                    F        C
Well now boys, I'm a rollin' stone
G                        F         C
that's what I was when I first left home
F                      C
Took every secret that I ever known
    Am     G        F      Am     G        C
and headed for the wall    Like a wrecking ball
C                    F           C
Started down on the holy road of sin
G                    F       C
Playin' bass under a pseudo-nym
F                            C
The days were rough and it's all quite dim
       Am         G         F      Am     G        C
but my mind cuts through it all    Like a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
       F         Am                       G   F      C        F      C
       I     was just a little deadhead       Who's watching, Who is watching
       F         Am                       G   F      C             F       C
       I's       just a little deadhead       Fallen daughter on a scholar-ship
[Verse]
G                          F        C
Well I got tired and let my average slip
F                        C
Then I's a farmer in the Pogonip
         Am        G  F             Am     G        C
with the weed that I  recall was    like a wrecking ball
C                              F   C
Met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin
G                        F     C
she showed me colors I'd never seen
F                        C
drank the bottom out of my canteen
     Am      G      F       Am     G        C
then left me in the fall    like a wrecking ball
C                     F       C
Standin' there in the autumn mist
G                     F       C
Jack and Coke at the end-of-my-wrist
F                   C
yes I remember when first we kissed
Am            G          F      Am     G        C
though it was nothing at all    like a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
F        C           F     C 
too much trouble for me to shake
G                       F        C
Oh, the weather and the blind-in ache
F                         C
was riding high till the '89 quake
         Am   G           F       Am     G        C
