Capo 2nd. Based off of his 4AD session video on Youtube and his website.
C May your eyes be wide and seeing
F May you learn from the view where you’re kneeling
C Know the fear of the world that you’re feeling
G Is the fear of a slave
C May you know how the fight was started
F And want as much from the snake as the garden
C Wear them both like a Gglove that you can wCave
C May your mouth betray your wisdom
F May you get what they failed to mention
C May your love be your only religion
G Preach it to us all
C May you lose what you offer gladly
F May you worship the time and it’s passing
C Stars wont ever waiGt for you to watch them Cfall
(One Strum each)
C We’re the smoke on a burned horizon
F We’re the boat on a tide that’s rising
C Both the post and the pig you’re untying
G Butcher gone for the blade
(Normal)
C Someday we may all be happy
F Someday all make a face worth slapping
C Someday we may be shocked to be laughing
G At the way we behave
C May your tongue be something wicked
F Know your part in the calf and the killing
C See straight through the captain you’re kissing
G Hound loose in his hand
C May your words be well worth stealing
F Put your hand on your heart when singing
C The choir’s sick of the sGong but they’ve still got to sCtand.
(One strum)
C Little children, the wind is whipping
F Short hands on a clock still ticking
C Both the egg and the red fox grinning
G His belly full for the day
C Someday we may all want nothing
F And all forget that we’ll get what’s coming
C Someday I’ll say the world was something
G That we just couldn’t change
C May your hands be strong and willing
F May you know when to speak and to listen
C May you find every friend that you’re missing
G There’s no check in the mail
C May you end there bruised and purple
F Know that peace is the shape of a circle
C Around and around you Ggo, biting your tCail
