D    G    A    D
Long ago in days of yore
G    A     D
It all began with a god named Thor
    D       Bm
There were Vikings and boats
  G       D    Dsus4     D
And some plans for a furniture store

      D      G       A     D
It's not a bodega, it's not a mall
G  A   D       A
And they sell things for apartments smaller than mine
Bm   GDDsus4   D
As if there were apartments smaller than mine

   A Bm G    DD   A     Asus4
Ikea: just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
   A Bm G        D     D      A     Asus4
Ikea: selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
       G  DA7
Everyone has a home
     G DA             DDsus4   D
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there

     D  G A D
So rent a car or take the bus
  G       A         D
Lay your cash down and put your trust
ABm      G      D  Dsus4   D
In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size

D   G   A    D
Billy the bookcase says hello
        G AD
And so does a table whose name is Ingo
 A    Bm       G   DDsus4     D
And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl


   A Bm G    DD   A     Asus4
Ikea: just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
   A Bm G        D     D      A     Asus4

       G  DA7
Everyone has a home
     G DA             DDsus4   D
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there

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

      D     G    A    D
I'm sorry I said Ikea sucks
GA   D
I just bought a table for 60 bucks
A  Bm     G     D    Dsus4    D
And a chair and a lamp and a shelf and some candles for you

D GAD
I was a doubter just like you
DGA  D
Till I saw the American dream come true
A    Bm  G  D
In New Jersey, they got a goddamned Swedish parade
