[C]Man sai[G]d I can't wai[F]t

[Verse 2]
[C]Passed a man[G]sion made of stone
[Am]But with [F]each new house he's shown
[C]They get[G] smaller by degre[Am]es
[C]Stopped in [G]front of a two room shack
[Am]Pete said: Hope you're [F]happy with that
[C]Man sai[G]d: How can thi[C]s be?

And when [C]I get back t[G]o this
neighborhood
There'd [Am]be a gigantic pi[F]le of wood
[C]And I'd [G]say : What's
this [C]I see?
And you'd tell [F]me :
That's all the [G]lumber
