lyrics:

Ringo: One...Two...Three

        E
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
        A            E
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
   G
If I ain't dead already
B7                            E    A  E  B7
Ooh girl you know the reason why.

In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.

Bridge:

E                         A E
My mother was of the sky
E                         A E
My father was of the earth
E                         A E
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth

A                E
I'm lonely wanna die
G
If I ain't dead already
B7                           E    A  E B7
Ooh girl you know the reason why.

The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.

Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
(swing beat)
Wanna die yeah wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
