C
I slept all day
Asus2      Am
awoke with distaste
C
and I railed,
Asus2   Am
and I raved

F
That the difference between
D7
the sprout and the bean
F
is a golden ring,
D
it is a twisted string.
F
And you can ask the counsellor;
D7
you can ask the king;
F
and they'll say the same thing;
D
and it's a funny thing:
F
Should we go outside?
D
Should we go outside?
F
Should we break some bread?
D
Are y'interested?

C
And as I said,
Asus2            Am
I slept as though dead
C
dreaming seamless dreams 
Asus2  Am
of lead.

F
When you go away,
D7
I am big-boned and fey
F
in the dust of the day,
D
in the dirt of the day.
F
and Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat,
D7
and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat,
F
And the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat,
D
and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,

F
who know th'outside!
D7
Should we go outside?
F
Should we break some bread?
D
Are y'interested?
