Wond'ring Again
INTRO D Dsus2 C
Am Cmaj7 G D F (Fmaj7) D Dsus2
There's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea,
Am Cmaj7 G D F (Fmaj7) D Dsus2
and the motor car magical world long since ceased to be,
Am Cmaj7 G D F (Fmaj7) D Dsus2
when the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree.
C D C D
Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride,
C D C D
spawning new millions throws the world on its side.
G C G Gm Cm7
Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse,
G D F C D
and those with no sandwiches please get off the bus.
Am Cmaj7 G D F (Fmaj7) D Dsus2
The excrement bubbles, the century's slime decays
Am Cmaj7 G D F (Fmaj7)D Dsus2
and the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say
Am Cmaj7 G D F (Fmaj7) D Dsus2
it's under control and we'll soon be on our way
C D C D
to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games
C D C D
of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain.
G C G Gm Cm7
The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old,
G D F C D
and those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes.
C Am G D Dsus2
We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.
C Am G D Dsus2
Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told.
C D G Em D Em (1) G
Stumbled on a daffodil which she crushed in the rush, heard it sigh,
D Dsus2
and left it to die.
Em G D C D Dsus2
At once felt remorse and were touched by the loss of our own,
Em G D C D Dsus2
held its poor broken head in her hands, dropped soft tears in the snow,
Dm C G Em D
and it's only the taking that makes you --- what you are.
C Am G D Dsus2
Wond'ring aloud will a son one day be born
C Am G D Dsus2 Em D Dsus2 (2)
to share in our infancy in the child's path we've worn.
C D G Em D Em G
In the aging seclusion of this earth that our birth did surprise
D
we'll open his eyes.
