E B A
I'm not famous and I'm practically broke
I'm not an alcoholic, and I don't snort coke
E G#7 C#M F#DIM
Who the hell would buy music from me?
A B A B E
So at least for now, you can download this for free
Get what you can while I'm still in debt
I'm checking out options, but nothing yet
The big music companies they don't want me
So at least for now, you can download this for free
A Am
Back in the sixties, when I had my shot
E B A Am
I was too busy drinking and smoking pot
G#7 C#M F#DIM
Amphetamines and LSD
A B A B E
So at least for now, you can download this for free
F#M E
if you like free music you may be interested
F#M F# B
you can put this on myspace and not get arrested.
Adult soft rock is the style, I'd say
kids won't want it because it sounds too gay
E G#7 C#M F#DIM
Aging hippie is the sound for me (wah wah)
So at least for now, you can download this for free
It gets less and less likely, as time goes by
that I'll write a classic like American Pie
E G#7 C#M F#DIM
My Chevy missed the Levy, and hit a tree
A B
So at least for now, A B
So at least for now A B A B E
So at least for now this one's on me.
