Bm A
The forest got furry...
G F#7
the desert grew eyes
Bm A
mountains got runny...
G F#7
and lakes turned to skies
Bm A
a harvest of pumpinks grew
G F#7
sequins for ears and I
Bm A G F#m7
sighted for my sanity...
F#7 Bm
Gay Cavalier
Bm A
A torrent of roses
G F#7
not tossed by a tear
Bm A
what Nature disposes
G F#7
man makes disappear
Bm A
one moment's sincerity
G F#7
smoothly sincere
Bm A G F#m7
might bring back my sanity...
F#7 Bm
Gay Cavalier
If you wanna know...
A F#7 Bm
Je' sto cuntanno ancora 'a rrobba mia and
I don't know
A F#7 Bm
se'a vita e' 'na ciofeca o e' grazie 'e Dio
A G
if you wanna know
A Bm
pe' te nun saccio niente
A Bm
quacche vota so' cuntento
A G F#m7 F#7 Bm
me manca l'aria pe' respira'...
Bm A
The terrible simmetry
G F#7
tinkles like glass
Bm A
the future at Liberty
G F#7
is freed from the past
Bm A
the mountains and moments
G F#7
merge with the here
Bm A G F#m7
and we're back with our sanity...
F#7 Bm
Gay Cavalier
Bm A
The window is open,
G F#7
ajar is the door
Bm A
no more of this groping
G F#7
we've reached the far shore
Bm A
the land that we searched
G F#7
for is nearly than near
Bm A G F#m7
and we're here with our sanity...
F#7 Bm
Gay Cavalier
If you wanna know...
A F#7 Bm
Je' sto cuntanno ancora 'a rrobba mia and
I don't know
A F#7 Bm
se'a vita e' 'na ciofeca o e' grazie 'e Dio
A G
if you wanna know
A Bm
pe' te nun saccio niente
A Bm
quacche vota so' cuntento
A G F#m7 F#7 Bm
me manca l'aria pe' respira'...
Bm A
With genius in genesis...
G F#7
goblins appear
Bm A
but in patches for
G F#7
penances nothing to fear
Bm A
love widely not wisely
G F#7
all Mankind is dear
Bm A G F#m7
and the whole is Humanity...
F#7 Bm
Gay Cavalier...
If you wanna know...

A G F#m7 F#7 Bm
me manca l'aria pe' respira'...
oh... If you wanna know...
