36 Inches High Lyrics & Tabs by Nick Lowe

36 Inches High

guitar chords lyrics

Nick Lowe

Once I was a soldier
I rode on a big white horse
Silver pistols at my side

Carryin' the flags of war
And I Iost track of the men who fell
In the canon's roar
I never got over bein' a soldier
　
Once I was a tax man
Collectin' dollars and dimes
I heard the rich man grumble
I heard the poor man cry
Some few couldn't afford to pay
Were put to a shackle and key
I never got over bein' a tax man

Some few couldn't afford to pay
Were put to a shackle and key
I never got over bein' a tax man
　
Once I was a ruler
About twelve inches long
Three times me made a yardstick
36 inches high
36 inches high was I
36 inches high
I never got over 36 inches high
