[E]
[Am]
This is [Em] nice to close my brain, [F] and questions I could [G] not hold back.
[Am] An orange monkey [Em] on a chain, [F]
a bumblebee, [G] a meerkat, [Am] and a [G] [F]
[G] [Am]
[C] trap.
I'm a man, [F] instead I'll write [G] down what I've [C]
found.
[Am]
[Em] [Am]
[Em] [C] [Am] The meat on mountains, [Em] jagged [Am] shelves, coat with snow [G] and shadow [Am] sheer.
Flames tip-top [Em] upon [C] themselves, [F] a pain of [G] fifty million [Am] years.
And mules and goats [G] will run in [Am] wild, I need [G] chaos to carry [Am] it on.
And oh, my [C] man, the young boy [F] smiled, and walked [G] until the day is [C] gone.
[Am]
[C] [Am]
[Em] [Am]
[Em] Sunday, covered [C] with dogs, [F] no streets with no blind [G] building signs.
[Am] The piles of [Em] rocks, the dust, my [C] smile [F] did not block [G] out different light.
[Am] When I [G] returned, I ran to meet [F] the monkey, [Em] but his face had [C] changed.
[Am] He stood [C] before me on two feet, the [F] track was [G] now a [C] motorway.
