Tom: C

C       F          C
I got amnesia this morning,
      G          C
I got hit on the head.
C     F         C
And I woke up today
     G        C
in a hospital bed.

[Verse 1]
C         F         C
I can't remember my name,
    G            C
but one thing is clear,
C F           C
I must have insurance
          G           C
or they'd not keep me here.
C  F         C           G         C
So maybe I'm rich, maybe in debt a lot,
C       F          C               G        C
If they come to collect, I'll just say I forgot.

[Chorus]
C       F          C
I got amnesia this morning,
      G          C
I got hit on the head.
C     F         C
And I woke up today
     G        C
in a hospital bed.

[Verse 2]
C        F            C             G            C
  Are my  friends all  hip? Do they   play tenor    sax?
C    F                    C             G                  C
  Or  belt their pants at  their armpits and   wear plastic  pen-packs?
C           F        C
  Do I have   honest work,
          G         C
or lead a   life of crime?
C        F          C
  Please   shoot me  dead
         G             C
if I'm a   lawyer or a   mime.

[Chorus]
C       F          C
I got amnesia this morning,
      G          C
I got hit on the head.
C     F         C
And I woke up today
     G        C
in a hospital bed.

"Harmonica!"

[Chorus]
C       F          C
I got amnesia this morning,
      G          C
I got hit on the head.
C     F         C
And I woke up today
     G        C
in a hospital bed.

[Verse 3]
C        F     C
Now what is my religion?
       G       C
I hope   I'm a Buddhist.
C  F           C
I  could be a  Hindu,
           G     C
A Catholic or a  nudist.
C        F     C
What if   I'm  born-again
       G            C
or in  some weirdo  sect?
C       F       C
I know  I'm not Jewish,
         G           C
I looked down and I  checked.

[Chorus]
C       F          C
I got amnesia this morning,
      G          C
I got hit on the head.
C     F         C
And I woke up today
     G        C
in a hospital bed.

[Outro]
C       F          C
I got amnesia this morning,
      G          C
I got hit on the head.
C     F         C
And I woke up today
     G        C
in a hospital bed.
