  A        E        B     E D
I used to be an a student,
I never used to complain
I used to be a truant
but I'm still the same

 A    E    B E D A    E    B  E D
Bad, bad brain, bad, bad brain

I used to go to parties
I used to drink champagne
Now I'm beginning to feel the strain
Bad bad brain

I used to be in show biz
I used to have fortune and fame
I used to have pleasure and pain
I used to have a name

Bad, bad brain, bad, bad brain

Now I'm on the Bowery
I can't remember my name

Bad, bad brain, bad, bad brain
