One Day I Slowly Floated Away

Intro: F  F  Dm  Dm  (x2)

F         Dm
One day I slowly floated away
F         Dm
One day I slowly floated away
F
All the war horses wore rubber bands
C
to hide their hooves from sinking 
sand
F
The commander in charge was hoping 
that
C
The destiny was not to die

Am
Wake up in the morning I shall
F
Wake up and so shall you
Am
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
F                        Am
And it is warming you and I
F             Am
Fragile as we lie

F                            
Hard to foresee the future our 
  Dm
bodies were growing thin
F                                  
Glimpsing the peeling paint of the 
Dm
nurse's ivory chain
F
You've got a lot of nerve coming 
here
C
Your eyes are beating rhythms way
F
Faster than the speeding bullet that
C
took the life of your radio

Am
Wake up in the morning I shall
F
Wake up and so shall you
Am
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
F                        Am
And it is warming you and I
F             Am
Fragile as we lie

G
And in the corner chair
Dm
soft and soap-scented
G                     Dm
my darling cries apologies
G
We foresee the mercy
G
That's been shown my young limbs
G                          Dm
Will not go unthanked or unseen

Am
Wake up in the morning I shall
F
Wake up and so shall you
Am
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
F                        Am
And it is warming you and I
F             Am
Fragile as we lie
