(Intro) B-G#m-B-G#m
(verse 1)
B
I slept all day
G#m
awoke with distaste
B
and I railed,
G#m
and I raved
(verse 2)
E
That the difference between
C#
the sprout and the bean
E
is a golden ring,
C#
it is a twisted string.
E
And you can ask the counselor;
C#
you can ask the king;
E
and they'll say the same thing;
C#
and it's a funny thing:
[Refrão]
E
Should we go outside?
C#
Should we go outside?
E
Should we break some bread?
C#
Are y'interested?
B-G#m-B-G#m
(verse 3)
B
And as I said,
G#m
I slept as though dead
B G#m
dreaming seamless dreams of lead.
(verse 4)
E
When you go away,
C#
I am big-boned and fey
E
in the dust of the day,
C#
in the dirt of the day.
(Bridge)
E
and Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat,
C#
and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat,
E
And the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat,
C#
and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,
[Refrão]
F# E
who know th'outside!
C#
Should we go outside?
E
Should we break some bread?
C#
Are y'interested?
