[Verse 1]
E
[RIFF] I was taught a month ago
E
[RIFF] To bide my time and take it slow
E
[RIFF] But then I learned just yesterday
E
[RIFF] To rush and never waste the day
E
[RIFF] Now I'm convinced the whole day long
E
[RIFF] That all I learn is always wrong
E
[RIFF] And things are true that I forget
E
[RIFF] Well no one taught that to me yet
A (x6) A G
(lightly strum an A chord, getting gradually louder, then
forcefully hit A G)
[Chorus]
E G A
I-I'm off to see the man Mulcahey, I'm off to see the man
Mulcahey (x4)
[Verse 1]
E G A
I was taught a month ago . . . .
E G A
To bide my time and take it slow . . . .
E G A
But then I learned just yesterday . . . .
E G A
To rush and never waste the day . . . .
E G A
Now I'm convinced the whole day long . . . .
E G A
That all I learn is always wrong . . . .
E G
And things are true that I forget . . . .
E G A A A A A A A G
Well no one taught that to me yet . . . .
[Chorus]
E G A
I - I'm off to see the man Mulcahey, I'm off to see the man
Mulcahey (x4)
E E
I - I . . . . Mulcahey, I'm off to see the man Mulcahey

I - I . . . . Mulcahey, I - 'Cahey, 'Cahey . . . .

I - I'm off to see the man Mulcahey, I'm off to see the man Mulcahey..... (BLAH BLAH BLAH.....)
That should hold you rascals for now!
(when I play this tune, I put an Asus4-A-Asus4-A quick
change at the verse ends that isn't necessary...Trey doesn't
play it, but if you're playing alone on a guitar - as I
usually do - it substitutes in for Page's piano fills.)
Oh, and I didn't transcribe the solo because, well... I
don't have the patience, and I can barely solo anyway.
