[F#]
There's nothing much hanging from the tree in the [Bm] Garden of [D] Eden.
[E] It takes a long, long [F#] time for the fruit to ripen on the [B] [A] vine.
We [F#m] better get together or we'll end up on the roof [B] with a shotgun.
[A] Because a chance, we [C#] only got one.
[F#m] She's never very smart to try and strip the [D] bark from an old tree.
[E] We've [F#] been digging up the dirt since the rocks off the earth were still [C#m] warm.
Now [F#] old King Cole is dying.
[B] He was never gonna last the long run.
You [A] know a chance, we only [C#] got one.
At the [D] time of writing we were in [A] our heads.
At the [D] time of writing we were good [B] as dead.
At the [A] time of [F#] writing, at [B] the [D] time of writing we were [A] fast asleep.
At the [D] time of writing we were in [B] too deep.
At the time of [F#] writing.
[F#m] Wait a little while, your eyes will realign [D] into the darkness.
[F#m] There's an ice melt below us, bamboo curtains above.
[A] [F#m] Our ocean molt protects us, [C#] our friends sure come.
[B] You [A] know a chance, we [C#m] only got [C#] one.
