G                      F 
Beekeeper sing of your frustration 
G                 F 
In this litigious breeze 
G                  F 
Of accidental pollination 
G                   F 
In this era without bees 


G                     F 
We keep breeding desperation 
G              F 
In this era of thieves 
G                      F 
Who keep stealing respiration 
G                     F 
From the tenderest of trees 

G                  F 
This peculiar incantation 
G                  F 
Sure you heard it before 
G                   F 
Instead of breeding desperation 
G                        F 
Make me a pallet on your floor
