A augmentedA D MajorD
I was in your presence for an hour or so

Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
E MajorE A augmentedA
By that soft and shining sea
A augmentedA D MajorD
Did you respect me for what I did
E MajorE A augmentedA
Or for what I didn’t do, or for keeping it hid?

Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
E MajorE A augmentedA
Of everything you see?

Then came the warnin’ that was before the flood

That set everybody free

Fools they made a mock of sin

Strangers, they meddled in our affairs
