Ode To Satoshi (The Official Bitcoin Song) Lyrics

Ode To Satoshi

Well Satoshi Nakamoto that's a name I love to say

And we don't know much about him, but he came to save the day

When he wrote about the way things are and the way things ought to be

He gave us all a protocol this world had never seen

Oh Bitcoin as you're going into the old Blockchain

Oh Bitcoin I know you're going to reign, gonna reign

Till everybody knows, everybody knows,

till everybody knows your name

Down the road it will be told about the Death of Old MtGox

About traitors trading alter coins and minors mining blocks

But them good old boys back in Illinois and on down through Tennessee

See they don't care to be a millionaire, they're just wanting to be free

Oh Bitcoin as you're going into the old Blockchain

Oh Bitcoin I know you're going to reign, gonna reign

Till everybody knows, everybody knows

Till everybody knows your name

From the ghettos of Calcutta to the halls of Parliament

While the bankers count Our money out for every government

Old Bitcoin flies on through the skies of Virtuality

A promise to deliver us from age old Tyranny

Oh Bitcoin as you're going into the old Blockchain

Oh Bitcoin I know you're going to reign, gonna reign

Till everybody knows, everybody knows, till everybody knows your name

Till everybody knows, everybody knows till everybody knows your

"Give me some Exposure"

Everybody knows your name

Singing:

Oh Lord pass me some more

Oh Lord before I have to go

Oh Lord pass me some more

Oh Lord . . . before I have to

Go

Ode To Satoshi Guitar Chords

Capo on the 2nd fret.

Play a G form (which will really be an A)

If you're playing harmonica, use a D Harp and you'll be playing what is called "cross harp" which is 4 steps away From A. Count it out yourself, A, B, C, D . . . that's 4 steps away from the A right?
