One night I upon my motorcycle
through the desert I sped
And smashed my body so that
All my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close
and whispered to my bleeding head

[Tacet]
'You are the son of a mother-fucker'   
one two three four

  F#
I shook all night and held her hand
  G                                C#  G# G F# F#/E
In tropic heat well I'll be damned
F#
Land of plenty, land of fun
G                                C#  G# G F# F#/E   C#  G# G F# F#/E
To find out I'm Nimrod's Son

B         A            G
  Oh bury me  far away please
     F#
Bury me

[Repeat this]

The joke has come upon me


In my motorcycle mirror
I think about the life I've led
And how my soul's been asking
all the holes where I had bled
My image spoke to me
Yes to me and often said
'You are the son of incestuous union'
One two three

Now my head is clear
My luke hands washed
My daughter's pure
My son is whole
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's Son

Oh bury me  far away please
Bury me

The joke has come upon me
