Great Big Sea


Tom: D

D        A              G      A
Na na na na na ne-ya-ah na

[Verse 1]
D              A                G          A
Wouldn't it be great, if no one ever got offended
D              A                   G              A
Wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind
D               A              G                  A
  I have always said, "All the rules are made for bending"
    D           A                G              A
And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime?

A (leading in)
[Chorus]
G       A  D           Bm
I wanna be consequence free
G       A        Bm               A
I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
G       A  D           Bm
I wanna be consequence free
          D        A              G     A
just sing na na na na na ne-ya-ah na

[Verse 2]
D              A       G                A
I could really use, to lose my Catholic conscience
D                 A               G              A
  Cuz I'm getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
D          A                   G              A
  I won't abuse it, yeah, I've got the best intentions
      D             A           G               A
For a little bit of anarchy but not the hurting kind

[Chorus]
G       A  D           Bm
I wanna be consequence free
G       A        Bm               A
I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
G       A  D           Bm
I wanna be consequence free
          D        A              G     A
just sing na na na na na ne-ya-ah na

[Bridge] (D and then A leading in)
G            D                
  I couldn't sleep at all last night
Bm           A
'cause I had so much on my mind
G             D
  I'd like to leave it all behind,
Bm       A                 G   
but you know it's not that easy
A
But for just one night

[Verse 3]
D                A             G               A
  Wouldn't it be great, if the band just never ended
D                   A                 G               A
  We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
D                  A             G            A
  Wouldn't need to worry about approval or permission,
         D              A              G               A
We could - slip off the edge and never worry about the fall

[Chorus]
G       A  D           Bm
I wanna be consequence free
G       A        Bm               A
I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
G       A  D           Bm
I wanna be consequence free
          D        A              G     A
just sing na na na na na ne-ya-ah na
