Am7 G7M Fdim Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Asus2 B7 E Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone, A7M Am7 I find it hard right now to name you one G7M Fdim Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales. Asus2 B7 E If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice A7M Am7 Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice Fdim Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales 2nd verse: ---------- Asus2 B7 E A God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats Edim A7M Am B7 With a fear that is biblical under our hats CHORUS
