Key:
D Sucking on a tap that never dries Could you take it right between your
A eyes
G F# Bending blood, bending blood
Em A The father stood, the father's hood
D C Like shadow on an acid bird that
Bm D etched her way across a field
F G D So long ago [Verse 2]
D Walking through the fields in summer heat Look at all the creatures 'round
A your feet
G F# Pumping blood, pumping blood
Em A The mother's gaze, the mother gave
Continues after the ad
D C White ointment of an acid kiss
Bm D that burned upon the lips she gave you
G D C G A So long ago, so long ago [Chorus]
G Fun in the sun, luck in the bloodstream
A G Shallow bodies writhing on the grass
G Fun in the sun, hair in the slipstream
A Tadpoles shooting through a hollow
G glass [Verse 3]
D Cutting out a silhouette in dreams
A Everything is older than it seems
G F# Son of blood, son of blood
Em A The baby shakes, the baby snakes
D C That crawl across the acid rings
Bm D that flicker from your corpuscles
F G D G A One sunny day, one sunny day [Chorus]
G Fun in the sun everyone knows it
A G They could be as mellow as the hay
G Fun in the sun everyone blows it
A G They grow up and instantly turn grey
D C Like shadow of an acid bird that
Bm D etched its way across a field
F G D G D So long ago, so long ago
