VERSE 1
********
G Bm
Adam's at the window, staring at the apple trees on fire
G Bm
Waiting for the windfall that brings the smile of kings and their desire
C G
Door blows in behind him, a floral pattern, summer dress so gay
-------------------------
VERSE 2
********
D7 G
Burning in the sunlight, too late to wait
D7 G
For darkness won't delay to steal her cherry lips away
Em Bm C G
For while the careless tongues of sunlight slowly trickle down
C Bm Am D
The curve of hips, her fingertips, in kissing sips we drown
C
In kissing sips we drown
-------------------------
CHORUS
*******
D C G D
And Adam will have his way
C G G* D G
Adam will have his way
-------------------------
VERSE 3
********
Bm
Adam's on the island, living in the land of love
G Bm
Shadows lurk around him, drunk on the royal jelly of pure love
C G
Full and ripe, the fruit hang, for when the prince arrives he will want more
-------------------------
VERSE 4
********
D7 G
And more and more he'll drink from the canvas cup
D7 G
The son of a swan will then lose his plumera
Em Bm C G
And he will wear a new-age suit and haunt the joints in town
C Bm Am D
And play the silver magic flute and call his lovers down
C
And call his lovers down
-------------------------
CHORUS
*******
D C G D
And Adam will have his way
C G G* D G
Adam will have his way
C G D G
Will have his way
-------------------------
VERSE 5
********
Bm
Adam's at the easel, painting in the wrinkles and the grey
G Bm
Waiting for November, easy with the darkness of the day
C G
Smiles a tear of gladness, and Adam's at the window once again
-------------------------
VERSE 6
********
D7 G
He's burning in the sunlight, too late to wait
D7 G
For darkness won't delay to steal her cherry lips away
Em Bm C G
For while the careless tongues of sunlight slowly trickle down
C Bm Am D
The curve of hips, her fingertips, in kissing sips we drown
C
In kissing sips we drown
-------------------------
CHORUS
*******
D C G D
And Adam will have his way
C G G* D G
Adam will have his way

Adam will have his way

Adam will have his way
