[A] [G]
[N]
[G] We sing through the market square so [Em]
many mothers cry
[A] Music just come [B] over we
[F#m] [C] have five years left to cry
[G] News got wept when he told us
[Em]
Was really dying
[A] Cried so much that his face was wet
[Bm] [C] Then I knew he wasn't lying
[G] I heard telephones and opera house favorite melodies
[F#m]
[Em] saw toys and boys
electric irons and TVs
[G]
[A] My brain hurt like a [B] warehouse it had [A] no room to spare
[C]
Had to cram so many things to store everything in there
All [Am] the fat skinny people
[Bm]
[C] All [Am] the tall short people
[Bm]
[C] All the somebody [G]
people
All
[C] the nobody [D] people
No, I thought the [C] need [Am] so many people
[B]
[C] Girl [G] [Am]
[G] my age went up ahead
Hit [Bm] [Em] some tiny children
Well
[A] if the black had no puller off
[B] [C] Think she would have killed them
[G]
Sold you with a broken arm
[A] [Em] Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
[A] Pop Neldon kissed the feet of a priest and [C] the queer threw up at the sight of that
[G] And I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor
[Em] drinking milkshakes
[A] Smiling and waving and looking so fine
[C] Don't think you knew you were in the song
[G]
It was cold and it rained
And I felt like an actor
[Em] And I thought of Ma
And I wanted to get back there [A] Her face
You raised the way that you talk
[F#] I [C] kiss you you're beautiful.
I want you to [G]
walk
Five years stuck on my eyes
[D]
[Em] Five years
What a [E] surprise
[A]
Five years my brain hurts a [G] lot
[C] five
Years, what's so [G] big?

stuck on my [Bm] eyes
[Em]
What a surprise

[C]
Five
[G]
[N]
[G]
years
She kneels before [Em] the cry of a brave song who gave his life to [C] save a slogan
That hovers between the [G] headstone and her [Bm] eyes
For they [C] penetrate her [D] breathing
[G] You words boy and girl are [Em] talking you words
That only they can [C] share in you words
A love so strong it breaks their [G] hearts to speak
[Bm] Through the bleeding [Am] hours [D] of morning
[Am]
Love is careless in its [E] choosing
Sweeping over cross and maybe [F] love [C] descends on those [D] defenses
Idiot love will cause [C] confusion
[D] Inspirations have a [G] nun just to touch the [C] flaming dove
[Cm] All I [G] have is my love of [D] love love is not loving
[G]
So
[Em]
[C]
[G]
[Am]
[D] [A]
love
The beast that tastes the [F#m] word and soul of love and how my god on [D] high is all love
No reaching out my loneliness
[A] [C#m] By the [Bm] lines that [E] surrounds him
[Bm] Love is careless in its [F#] choosing sweeping over cross and [G] baby love [D] descends on those defenses
[E] [D] Confusion
[E] Inspirations have an [A] unjust to touch the [D] flaming dove
[Dm] All I have [A] is my love of [E] love.
Love is not loving
[A]
[C#m] [F#m]
[D]
[A]
[C#m] [C#] [Bm]
[E] So [A] love
[F#m]
[D]
[A] [C#m]
[Bm] [E]
