Elegant Chaos, from World Shut Your Mouth.
Note: like many of my other tabs, there are some uncertainties - just use this tab
as a guideline...
FC
Busy at home
Bb
I was happy for a while
C
But the joke is over
FC
Looking down
BbC
At the carefully laid out infamy
FC
Take a scythe, take a scythe,
Bb
To the rotting core
C
Of man-vegetaton
FC
Now I sigh
BbC
At the cool cool attitude to ignorance
A5
The look in your eyes
G5
When you gave this to me
A5G5
Just put me on my guard
F
In this elegant chaos
CCb
I stand to one side
Shouting "ha"
Was I forced into this?
Or was it given to me?
It's a nice idea -
As a gift
Or as something to try for a while
70 years?
It's neither one thing or the other
My big fear
Is to dig it at last
And have it taken away
(bridge, no real chords - so I made them up)
AmE
It??s not a problem of secrecy
GD
I take it in my stride
AE
Did I learn to breathe to be killed like this?
AmE
Faces to the glass
GD
I see them televise my death
A
Oh, and here comes the part
E
Where I break down and cry.
People I see
Just remind me of mooing
Like a cow on the grass
And that's not to say
That there's anything wrong
With being a cow anyway
But people are people
With the added advantage
Of the spoken word
We're getting on fine
But I feel more of a man
When I get with the herd.
