INTRO: G,C,G,C
VERSE1:
G C D
When the inspiration is above our station
G C D
Thoughts are melancholy and I let them pass
G C D
I tend to view this nation through the condensation
C D G
Of a dirty glass
When the singer solemn was a bonnie laddie
When she brushed his hair with a watered comb
Then he could have dandered and he could have shown ye
Seven hills like Rome
CHORUS:
C G
If misty eyes can witness
Am D
Love and affection, love and affection
C G
Why does the heart still resist?
D
What the hell is wrong with you?
G C
I got eyes of misty blue
C D
All the things I want to do are all I ever wanted to
VERSE2:
As the laddie grew and he looked around him
At the thugs and rapists in their stolen suits
louder beat the rhythm of his bloody heart
Telling him to shoot
CHORUS
VERSE3:
Thoughtless competition
Like a home-made prison
Made him fix his vision
On a certain fate
What's the use in winning all the worlds creation
If you won't create?
