Gm9 Bb C4
Gm9 Gm9 C/F Bb/Eb C/D
[Verse 1]
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7 Gm9 Bbmaj7/F
Flight 59 northbound, JetBlue
Cm7 Dm7add11 Gm9 C/F Bb/Eb
Makin’ my way back home to you
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7 Gm9 Bbmaj7/F
Shotgunned Dos Equis for a week and a day
Cm7 Dm7add13 Ebmaj7 F Ebmaj7 F4 Eb/G F4/A
’Til the Daytona Hilton sent me away
[Prechorus]
Cm7 Gm7
“If I get it, I get it”
Dm7 Am7
The TV reporter asked and I said it
Cm7 Dm7add13
You say I don’t get it
Eb F/Eb Eb F/Eb C D/C C D/C
And now, comes the very thing that you dreaded…
[Chorus]
Gm9 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7 D7#5#9
That fever, that shiver, that tremor, that ache?
Cm7 Csus4/D Ebadd9 F Ebmaj7 F2 Eb/G F2/A
A souvenir of your little boy’s spring break
Cm9 Dm7 F/Eb Ebmaj7
And now I’m the pox of which you can’t be rid
D7#5#9
They call me The Covid Kid
[Interlude]
Gm9 Bb C4
Gm9 Gm9 C/F Bb/Eb C/D
[Verse 2]
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7 Gm9 Bbmaj7/F
Takin’ the test, well, that ain’t my job
Cm7 Dm7add11 Gm9 C/F Bb/Eb
But you pulled me a string, and you got me a swab
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7 Gm9
You set me up nice, in the housekeeper’s wing
Bbmaj7/F Cm7 Dm7 Ebmaj7 F Ebmaj7 F4 Eb2/G F2/A
And as I streamed Rick & Morty, I started to sing
[Prechorus]
Cm7 Eb/G Gm7
“Don’t sweat it, don’t sweat it
Dm7 Am7
I’m young and unlikely to get it”
Cm7 Dm7add13
I read it, on Reddit
Ebmaj7 F/Eb Ebmaj7 F/Eb C D/C C D/C
And to me, our whole town is now indebted…
[Chorus]
Gm9 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7 D7#5#9
The cryin’, the sirens, the shortage of beds?
Cm7 Csus4/D Ebadd9 F Eb F4 Eb/G F4/A
Chalk it up to me and my Caucasian friends
Cm7 Dm7 Ebmaj7
Still I don’t regret a single thing that I did
D7#5#9
They call me The Covid Kid
[Interlude]
Gm9 Bb C4
Gm9 Gm9 C/F Bb/Eb C/D

A boy must be allowed, to play

[Chorus]

Your wheezing, your heaving, your gasping for air?
Cm7 Dm7 Eb F Ebmaj7 F4 Eb/G F4/A
This house will be mine soon, ’cause life isn’t fair

I barely got symptoms, and I’m keepin’ ’em hid
