Capo I
[Verse 1]
C F C F C F C F
I don't know just where I'm going
C F C F C
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can
F C
Cuz it makes me feel like I'm a man
F C
When I put a spike into my vein
F C
Then, I tell ya', things aren't quite the same
F C
When I'm rushin' on my run
F C
And I feel just like Jesus' son
F C
And I guess that I just don't know
F C
And I guess that I just don't know
[Verse 2]
C F C F C F C F
I have made big decisions
C F C F C
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
F C
Cuz when the blood begins to flow
F C
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
F C
When I'm closing in on death
F C
And you can't help me, not you guys
F C
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
F C
You can all go take a walk
F C
And I guess I just don't know
F C F C F
And I guess that I just don't know
[Prechorus]
C F C F C F C F
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
C F C F C
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
F C
On a great big clipper ship
F C
Going from this land here to that
F C F C F C
Ah, in a sailor's suit and cap
F C
Away from the big city
F C
Where a man cannot be free
F C
Of all of the evils of this town
F C
And of himself and those around
F C
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
F C
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
[Chorus]
C F C
Heeeeeroin
F C F C F
Be the death of me
C F C
Heeeeeroin
F C
It's my wife and it's my life
F C
Because a mainline to my vein
F C
Leads to a center in my head
F C F C
And then I'm better off as dead
[Verse 3]
F C
Because when the smack begins to flow
F C
Ah, I really don't care anymore
F C
About all the jim-jims in this town
F C
And all the politicians makin' busy sounds
F C
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
F C
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam
[Outro]
F C
Cuz when the smack begins to flow
F C F C
Then I really don't care anymore
F C
Ah, when that heroin is in my blood
F C
And that blood is in my head
F C
Then thank god that I'm good as dead
F C
And thank your god that I'm not aware
F C
And thank god that I just don't care
F C
And I guess I just don't know
F C F C F C F C F C
Ah, and I guess I just don't know
