G Clouds so swift Am Rain won't lift C Gate won't close G Railings froze G Am Get your mind off wintertime C G You ain't goin' nowhere G Am Whoo-ee! Ride me high C Tomorrow's the day G My bride's gonna come G Am Oh, oh, are we gonna fly C G Down in the easy chair! I don't care How many letters they sent Morning came and morning went Pick up your money And pack up your tent You ain't goin' nowhere Whoo-ee! Ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair! Buy me a flute And a gun that shoots Tailgates and substitutes Strap yourself To the tree with roots You ain't goin' nowhere Whoo-ee! Ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair! Genghis Khan He could not keep All his kings Supplied with sleep We'll climb that hill no matter how steep When we get up to it Whoo-ee! Ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair!

Now look here dear Sue You best feed the cat The cat needs feedin' You're the one to do it Get your hat Feed the cat You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair!
Look here you bunch of basement noise You ain't no punchin' bag I see you walkin' out there, and you're the one to do it Pick up your nose, you canary You ain't goin' nowhere Just pick up that oil cloth cram it in the corner I don't care if your name is Michael, you gonna need some boards Get your lunch you foreign bib You ain't goin' nowhere Now look here, you pile of money, you best go off here to find a file I've seen you out there beatin' on you hammer, you ain't no head lettuce Beat that buzzard lay 'm on the rug You ain't goin' nowhere
Chords as above
Clouds so swift an' rain fallin' in Gonna see a movie called "Gunga Din" Pack up your money, pull up your tent McGuinn You ain't goin' nowhere. Whoo-ee, ride me high Tomorrow's the day That my bride's a-gonna come Whoo-ee, are we gonna fly Down into the easy chair. Genghis Khan an' his brother Don Could not keep on keepin' on We'll climb that bridge after it's gone After we're way past it. Whoo-ee, ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's a-gonna come Whoo-ee, are we gonna fly Down into the easy chair. Buy me some rings an' a gun that sings A flute that toots an' a bee that stings A sky that cries an' a bird that flies A fish that walks an' a dog that talks. Whoo-ee, ride me high Tomorrow's the day That my bride's a-gonna come Whoo-ee, are we gonna fly Down into the easy chair.
