        D     Asus4 A/C#  Aadd11
For the love, Iʼd   fallen on
       D      Asus4 A/C# Aadd11
in the swampy August    dawn
       D        Asus4 A/C#  Aadd11              E
what a mischief you   would bring young darling!
         A/C#        Aadd11   E
when the onus is not all your own
            A/C#      Aadd11        E
when you’re up for it before you’ve grown
         A/C#        Aadd11   A/C#
Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh

from the faun forever gone
in the towers of your honeycomb
I’d a tore your hair out just to climb back darling
when you’re filling out your only form
can you tell that itʼs just ceremon’
now you’ve added up to what you’re from

Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh
