Wow I said yeah The story of one chord Well, way back in the cave times Bunch of cave guys sitting around a fire Sitting around a fire with a two-string guitar Playing that s**er And they only had one chord Yeah, they only had one chord They had one chord, one riff, and it went like this, yo And they said... Sometimes you could hear 'em off in the distance Late at night, you close your eyes Underneath the full moon, you could hear 'em going Ooh mooga mooga, ooh mooga mooga, ooh mooga mooga Ooh mooga mooga, ooh mooga mooga, ooh mooga mooga I can hear 'em, can you hear 'em? They're out there and they're singing They're singing the story of one chord They're doing that one chord boogie It was a boogie woogie and it went like, like-a like this Then one day, a guy came from across the mountaintops Came from the other side of the hills He says, "Boys, we need some brand new thrills" He says, "Listen, cats, what we need is another chord, cause I'm a-mighty bored" And everybody said, "Oh no, You can't have another chord" He says "Man," He says, "Man, I'm a-looking for another chord" He says, "I'm a-searching for another chord"
He went out on a hunt He went out across the tundra Over the mountains, through the woods He went past grandma's house, he did He was looking for another chord He said "No longer will I be bored" He says "I'm searching searching searching searching" High and low, high and low Looking everywhere, looking everywhere Even looking in his underwear Then one day, one day he saw it He did not see the letter E but he saw the letter A He said "Say, I think that might be another chord on the top of that hill" He started walking, he started running He started having some fun He said "There it is, the other chord Man oh man I won't be bored Ah here it comes Here comes another chord No longer will, will I be bored Here I go" Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes, comes, comes Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes, comes, comes, wow I got one chord, now I got me another Yeah I got one chord, now I got me another Yeah two chords, boogie woogie Two chords, bam-a-lam Whomp-baba-lu-bop, papa-ooh-ma-mow-mow....
