D D    G G      A A       D D
Long ago in days of yore
G G A A D D
It all began with a god named Thor
A A Bm Bm
There were Vikings and boats
G G D D
And some plans for a furniture store
D D G G A A D D
It’s not a bodega, it’s not a mall
G G A A D D
And they sell things for apartments smaller
A A Bm Bm G G D D
than mine, As if there were apartments smaller than mine

Chorus
A A Bm Bm G G D D A A
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
A A Bm Bm G G D D A A
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) selling furniture For college kids and divorced men
G G D D A7 A7 A7sus4 A7sus4 A7 A7
Everyone has a home
G G D D A A D D Dsus4 Dsus4 D D
But if you don’t have a home you can buy one there

Verse 2
D D G G A A D D
So rent a car or take the bus
G G A A D D
Lay your cash down and put your trust
A A Bm Bm G G D D
In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size
G G A A D D
Billy the bookcase says hello
G G A A D D
And so does a table whose name is Ingo
A A Bm Bm G G D D
And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl


Chorus
A A Bm Bm G G D D A A
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
A A Bm Bm G G D D A A
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) selling furniture For college kids and divorced men
G G D D A7 A7 A7sus4 A7sus4 A7 A7
Everyone has a home
G G D D A A D D Dsus4 Dsus4 D D
But if you don’t have a home you can buy one there

Bm Bm F# F#
Ikea: plywood, brushed steel
D D A7 A7 Dadd4/A Dadd4/A
Ikea: meatballs, tasty
Bm Bm F# F#
Ikea: Allen wrenches
D D
All of them for free
F# F#
All of them for me

Guitar Solo - See below

Verse 3
D D G G A A D D
I’m sorry I said Ikea sucks
G G A A D D
I just bought a table for 60 bucks
A A Bm Bm G G D D
And a chair and a lamp And a shelf and some candles for you
G G A A D D
I was a doubter just like you
G G A A D D
’til I saw the American dream come true
A A Bm Bm G G D D
In New Jersey, they got a god damned Swedish parade


Chorus
A A Bm Bm G G D D A A
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
A A Bm Bm G G D D A A
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) selling furniture For college kids and divorced men
G G D D A7 A7 A7sus4 A7sus4 A7 A7
Everyone has a home
G G D D A A D D Dsus4 Dsus4 D D
But if you don’t have a home you can buy one there
