Mother, I heard you call my name but [A]
now
They say [Am] I have to leave [A] the village now
[Am]
Stand by me, salute me when I leave
Oh such foolish [Em] thoughts
So
[F] dark, [Am]
so [Em] cold, [G]
so dark, [F] so dark
[Am] Rushed in [C] like a storm, [G]
as the birds [F] fly
[Am] I can't [G] fly, even the very heart
[F] [Am]
As I've arrived, see monkeys flying down [A] from the trees
And who has [Am] ever seen such foolish [Bm]
ones as [A] these
A monkey [Am] quivers with its gauze torn open [A] wide
A [C] jungle cat is surrounded [Am] by
Oh such man [Em] games
I'll back the [F]
[G]
people [F] who say
[C] Oh, [Bm]
[G] you get to know him and [C] in tears
Oh your tales are [Bm] mine
In [G] the approaching years, [Am] they are drunk here

[Am]
A trail of blood, a trail of lights, of the night
I've acted the scenes of chaos, caught in a maze of lies
I've punched and swung, sterilized the world, lived in sadness
Just [C] planned to war
[Am]
Oh such man games
