Title: In the Days of the Caveman
Tabbed by: Unknown
[Intro]
G#m
When you go on camping trips,
F# B G#m B
You’re stuck right out in nature.
E F#
Foraging the forests like a primate.
E F# G#m B
Using sharpened tools instead of hot plates
[Verses]
E
Your thumb and forefinger
Sometimes when I lie awake,
when I finally get to sleep,
F# B G#m B
supposed to show you’re not a wild beast.
I hear the rainfall on my tent fly.
I dream in Techni color.
E F#
You can hear their noises at night time
I think of all the insects that are sleeping,
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
E F# G#m B
They don’t have to keep a certain bed time.
and wonder if the animals are dreaming.
alive and being fed inside a zoo cage.
[Chorus]
F# G#m E
See in the shapes of my body
F# G#m E F#
leftover parts from the apes and monkeys
[Extended Chorus (play 2nd and 3d time through)]
C D
In the days of the caveman,
G Em
and mammoths, and glaciers.
C D
Bugs and trees were your food then
G Em C G
no pajamas, or doctors.
