G#m C#m
Once the Hobos come around
F# B
Your silver walls come tumblin' down
G#m C#m
Watch the flashing colors shine
F# B
Bound to make you color blind
E C#m F#m E
. Wear the brightest colors that dazzle in the sun
E C#m F#m
And load your Indian chariots with flower-guns
E C#m
With passion fruits and marigolds
F#m E
And randy dogs and horny toads
C#m F# B
And babies born with Gemini eyes
E C#m F#m E
Roll your painted wagons along the rainbow roads
E C#m F#m
With grey unflashy hashy cats and lorry loads
E C#m
Of semi-stoney semi-nudes
F#m E
With thoughts to lay on silver dudes
C#m F# B
And ladies blessed with feminine eyes
| G# | G#m C#m
Silverworld, Once the Hobos come around
F# B
Your silver walls come tumblin' down

Watch the flashing colors shine

Bound to make you color blind Hi-ind . I---ind .. .. ..
E C#m F#m E
. Wear cosmic cosmetics across your rosy cheeks
E C#m F#m
And bring along mad witches and some fable freaks
E C#m
Daring gay young delegates
F#m E
Smoking chains of apple straights
C#m F# B
And gentlemen wearing Bimini ties
E C#m F#m E
Last stage for Silverworld, we're leaving right on time
E C#m F#m
We'll show 'em how to change their style and make a rhyme
E C#m
To bite a fruit and raise a tree
F#m E
To play a flute in harmony
C#m F# B
And feel in general chim-i-ney high
| G# | G#m C#m
Silverworld, Once the Hobos come around
F# B
Your silver walls come tumblin' down
G#m C#m
Watch the flashing colors shine
F# |B | C#m F# | B G#m |
Bound to make you color blind Hi-ind . I---ind ..
E B
Would you care to take a ride up through the Meadow of Content
E B A B
Where birds of faith fly sideways and hope is heaven-sent
| G# | G#m C#m
---- Once the Hobos come around
F# B
Your silver walls come tumblin' down
G#m C#m
Watch the flashing colors shine
F# |B | C#m F# | B G#m |
Bound to make you color blind Hi-ind . I---ind ..
| C#m F# | B G#m | C#m F# | E | B |
Hi-ind . I---ind .. Hi-ind . I---ind ..
