Richie Havens ft: Pino Daniele

Bm A G A (3v)
Bm A G F#m7 F#7 Bm

Bm              A
The forest got furry...
   G            F#7
the desert grew eyes
Bm              A
mountains got runny...
     G               F#7
and lakes turned to skies
Bm              A
a harvest of pumpinks grew
 G          F#7
sequins for ears and I
Bm       A     G  F#m7
sighted for my sanity...
F#7     Bm

Bm              A
A torrent of roses
   G            F#7
not tossed by a tear
     Bm         A
what Nature disposes
     G          F#7
man makes disappear
     Bm          A
one moment's sincerity
   G        F#7
smoothly sincere
       Bm    A      G  F#m7
might bring back my sanity...
F#7     Bm

Bm              A
The terrible simmetry
   G            F#7
tinkles like glass
Bm              A
the future at Liberty
      G           F#7
is freed from the past
     Bm            A
the mountains and moments
 G             F#7
merge with the here
           Bm    A      G   F#m7

Bm        A
The window is open,
 G            F#7
ajar is the door
    Bm            A
no more of this groping
       G               F#7
we've reached the far shore
     Bm           A
the land that we searched
        G           F#7
for is nearly than near
           Bm    A      G  F#m7
and we're here with our sanity...

Bm              A
With genius in genesis...
   G       F#7
goblins appear
Bm              A
but in patches for
          G          F#7
penances nothing to fear
Bm              A
love widely not wisely
   G            F#7
all Mankind is dear
           Bm    A      G  F#m7
and the whole is Humanity...
