Davey Rockit Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]There once was a boy by the
[A]name of [F#]davey rockit
And moved out from tenness[Bm]ee[A][D]
He came out to hollywood
to [A]be a famous [F#]dj
His name in the [Bm]magazines[A][D]
Everyone told him not to do it
[A]They said, "dave just chill
And get a [F#]job,
and go get a gig at [Bm]the mall"[A][D]
He didn't say a word,
he just [A]shook his head and [F#]grinned
Stood up and surprised them [Bm]all
[A]He said,

[Verse 2]
[D]"one of these days,
i'm [F#]gonna be large
I'll [G]practice all night [E]long
I've [D]packed my bags,
i've [F#]traveled too far
To [G]ever go back home"
[E][A][F#]

[Verse 3]
[D]Cause momma was a weeping willow
[F#m]His daddy wish h[A]e did
the same thing years ago
[F#]When he was young he played the drums,
opened for artie shaw
[Bm]Wanted to be a jazz
legend and a [A]su perstar
[D]But his dreams faded
when they had little david
[A]He secretly resented all
his friends that made [F#]it
And to be honest grew to hate
and love his own son
[Bm]And couldn't understand where
the rage [A]was comin [D]from
Davey and his momma was on tiptoes
[A]Cause they nev[F#m]er knew which
[A]daddy would [F#]open the do'
Either the mad, sad,
happy or the drunk one
[Bm]Davey like the drunk,
it was the only time he [A]spoke to [D]him
He sat down and yelled for a coors light
[A]Davey brought it for him,
it was [C#aug]the only thing he did right
[F#]He said "son,
your daddy used [Bm]to be sum'n
Now I work at some place that
[A]don't mean noth[D]in
And you gon' be just like your old man"
[A]Davey laughed and said "dad,
that's the main [F#]plan!"
And daddy laughed at that
And [Bm]told davey,
"get another from the six- [A]pack"

[Verse 4]
He said, [D]"one of these days,
i'm [F#]gonna be large
I'll [G]practice all night [E]long
I've [D]packed my bags,
i've [F#]traveled too far
To [G]ever go [E]back [A]hom[F#]e"[D][A]
[F#]

[Verse 5]
There once was a boy by [A]the
name of davey rockit
[F#]A thousand miles outside of ho[Bm]me[A][D]
All he had was his car and
[A]a hundred in his pocket
[F#]And he already felt alon[Bm]e
[A]He said,

[Verse 6]
[D]"one of these days,
i'm [F#]gonna be large

I've [D]packed my bags,

To [Bm]ever go [E]back home"
