by Richard Del Connor, The Hippy Coyote THC

riff: C-A-G-G     F-G-A

Two high school kids in a car
I look like a penguin with a movie star
All dressed up for the high school prom
Let's get to dancin' and party 'til dawn

chorus: x4
E______________C
It's my high school graduation

Ten years pass like a trip on a boat
Stuck in the middle of a root beer float
Job to job with a college degree
Selling myself to pay for that degree

chorus: x4
E______________C
It's my high school 10-year reunion

Spitting out babies for the big machine
Everybody's measured by their stack of green
I'm just taking pictures for a magazine
Shouldn't be embarrassed I don't fit their scene

chorus: x4
E______________C
It's my high school 20-year reunion

bridge:
E______G______C_______Am
Why do I try to ever fit in ?

E____________G
Why do I try to ever --

Give away my time in life
To be divorced with a second wife
Kids in high school don't really care
Whether their parents are losing their hair

chorus: x4
E______________C
It's my high school 30-year reunion

bridge:
E__________G_______C_______Am
I just want to do what is right
Create my own rules and avoid any fights
Protecting what's inside of me

E______G_________C_______E
My life I call my destiny --

C_______E
Oh --------

C_______E
Oh --------

C_______E
Oh --------

C______________E
It's my high school graduation "40 years ago!"

C______________E
It's my high school 40-year reunion

C______________E
It's my high school 40-year reunion

C______________E
It's my high school 40-year reunion

 

Written to his San Diego classmates 2012 before Coyote's 40-year high school reunion.

Recorded in this Las Vegas dumpy garage I'm living in. Lots of fan noise because it's 110 degrees!
