INTRO D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 C majorC
A minorAm Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G D MajorD FF (Fmaj7Fmaj7) D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
There's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea,
A minorAm Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G D MajorD FF (Fmaj7Fmaj7) D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
and the motor car magical world long since ceased to be,
A minorAm Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G D MajorD FF (Fmaj7Fmaj7) D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
when the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree.
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride,
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
spawning new millions throws the world on its side.
G+G C majorC G+G G minorGm Cm7Cm7
Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse,
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC D MajorD
and those with no sandwiches please get off the bus.
A minorAm Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G D MajorD FF (Fmaj7Fmaj7) D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
The excrement bubbles, the century's slime decays
A minorAm Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G D MajorD FF (Fmaj7Fmaj7)D Dsus2Dsus2
and the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say
A minorAm Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G D MajorD FF (Fmaj7Fmaj7) D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
it's under control and we'll soon be on our way
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain.
G+G C majorC G+G G minorGm Cm7Cm7
The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old,
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC D MajorD
and those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes.
C majorC A minorAm G+G D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.
C majorC A minorAm G+G D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told.
C majorC D MajorD G+G E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm (1) G+G
Stumbled on a daffodil which she crushed in the rush, heard it sigh,
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
and left it to die.
E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
At once felt remorse and were touched by the loss of our own,
E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
held its poor broken head in her hands, dropped soft tears in the snow,
DmDm C majorC G+G E minorEm D MajorD
and it's only the taking that makes you --- what you are.
C majorC A minorAm G+G D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
Wond'ring aloud will a son one day be born
C majorC A minorAm G+G D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 (2)
to share in our infancy in the child's path we've worn.
C majorC D MajorD G+G E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm G+G
In the aging seclusion of this earth that our birth did surprise
D MajorD
we'll open his eyes.
