D   (Dsus4  Dsus2   D)
Long ago in days of yore
It all began with a god named Thor
           A           Bm
There were Vikings and boats
         G                       D (dsus2 D)
And some plans for a furniture store

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


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


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

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

[[Repeat Chorus]]

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

[instrumental - guitar solo]*
D D A7 D   D G A D   A Bm G G D

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

I was a doubter just like you
’til I saw the American dream come true
       A       Bm         G                    D
In New Jersey, they got a god-daaamned Swedish parade

[[Repeat Chorus]]
