how long will this take baba
F#                       G
how long have you been sleeping
F#                       G
do you see me hanging on to
      F#          (indian riff)
every word you say
F#                  G
how soon will I be holy
F#                      G
how much will this cost guru
F#
how much longer 'til you
G           F#       (indian riff)
completely absolve me

Verse(same):
i've seen them give their drugs up
in place of makeshift altars
i've heard them chanting
kali kali frantically
i've heard them rotely repeat your
teachings with elitism
i've seen them boasting robes and
foreign sandalwood beads
i've seen them overlooking god in
their own essence
i've seen their upward glances
in hopes of instant salvation
i've seen their righteousness
mixed without loving compassion
i've watched you smile as
the students bow to kiss your feet

REPEAT CHORUS

F#   G
Ave Maria
