[F]
[B] [F]
[Abm]
[E]
You'll see.
They think I'm off [C] my crust, as I creep about [Am] the gaff,
[E]
but I'm really getting ready to surprise them all,
[C] because I'm busy sorting out the problems of the world.
[Am] [E] And when I reveal it all, won't they get a crinkly mouth?
[Cm]
[G] I've given my all to the [Am] task at hand [B] unstintingly,
[Abm]
and when it's all over, I'll rest on my [B] laurels.
[C]
[Am] [Bm] [E]
Here, for a moment, is a glimpse of my plan.
[A]
All the kids will be [Abm] happy learning things.
[Gbm]
[A] The wind will smell of [Abm] wild flowers.
[E] [Gbm]
[Abm] Nobody will whack each other [B] about with nasty [E] things.
All the room in the world.
[Am]
They take me for a mug, as [Gb] I smile.
[Abm]
They think I'm too out of tune to mind being [Am] patronised.
All in all, it's been another failure in my [E] chosen career,
and when my secrets are out, they'll [Cm] bite their silly tongues.
[Am] All I want for [Abm] my birthday is another birthday.
[E] [Em] When skies [C] are blue, we all feel the [Am] benefit.
[Abm]
Glimpse number two for the listener.
[A]
Everyone will feel useful [Abm] in lovely [E] ways.
[Gbm]
[A]
Trees will be firmly [Abm] rooted in town and [Gbm] country.
[Abm] Illness and despair [B] will be dispensed [E] with.
All the room in the [Bm] world.
[Am] They ask me if I've had the voices yet.
[D] [Abm] They don't think I know any true answers.
[Am] It's true that I haven't quite finished [D] yet.
[B] [E]
When it all comes out in the wash, they'll eat their [Cm] words.
[Am] But [A] all their names and [Abm] addresses
Later on, I'll write them each a [C] thank you letter.
[Am] [D] [E]
Before I stop, here's a last glimpse into the [A] general future.
[Abm] Home rule will exist [Gbm] in each home forever.
[A]
Every living thing [Abm] will be another friend.
[Gbm]
This [Abm] [Gbm] wonderful [B] state of affairs will last for [E] always.
This has been got out by a friend.
[Cm] [G]
