[Am]
[C] [E]
[Em] [Am]
[A] The sun came up above the [Am] strange white plain
Blood-red flowers all [A] went with rain
[C] The spirit wasn't really willing [E] anymore
[Em] For the flesh was very, very [Am] small
[A]
[F] I've got very little money left
[Bm] And I've got no sense
But [Am] I have none of your [Dm] goddamned impudence
[Am] The sun came up above the [E] new white fields
[A] And everything was new again
[G] Pure power stripped [Am] of meaning
[A] [E]
Sky burning, [Am] spring cleaning
Daisies [A]
[C]
[Em] [A]
on the hillside like cancer on the skin
Pretty little yellow eyes that flutter in the wind
I'd [C] be grateful my children aren't [E] here to see this
If you'd [Em] ever seem fit [A] to give me children
And [F] my defenses may be working with a [B] skeleton crew
But [Am] I'll be skinned alive before [Dm] I'll take this from [Am] you
The [A] sun came up above the [E] ocean out west
[A] All the colors of the rainbow
[G] Stand up straight, you can see the house [A] gleaming
[E] Day breaking, [A] spring cleaning
[Am]
