[Eb]
[Ab] Don't you bother slipping like [Eb] a shark
[Ab] At last morning after [Eb] dark
[Ab] We shall never see [Fm] the end of [Bb] tomorrow
[Eb]
[Ab] Under the city [Eb] of blue, we [Ab] don't know
Where our mother [Eb] is
Just as I [Ab] guess, God in [Fm] heaven's up to [Bb] the [Eb] throne
Jump
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab] across the vacant land [Eb] of oil
[Ab] Then I'll show you what we have [Eb] been through
[Ab] More things in this life [F] than do [Ab] down at sea
[Eb] [Eb] Don't you leave [Ab] us here, restless as [Eb] we are
We feel so [Ab] far from home in the land of our parents
[Eb] Horns [Ab] sounding, lamenting at [Bb] the shelter's light
[Cm] The [Ab] town's below, [Bb] the glass is dead
[Cm] [Ab] Showered in [Bb] the glass of death
[C] We call, [Ab] we call [Fm] to thee, [Bb] to sound the [Eb] call
We were [Ab] just a team that never knew [Eb] the rule
[Ab] I'm down with the freaks [Eb] and
The [Ab] only boundaries I ever need to [Eb] be made
[Ab] I'm used to better than you [Fm] may [Bb] conceive
[Eb] We don't even
[Ab] care, shake these infant [Eb] blues
And we [Ab] don't know where our mother [Eb] is
Just as I [Ab] guess, God in [Fm] heaven's up to [Bb] the
[Eb] throne
[Ab] The streets, the urgency [Eb] of now,
[Ab] it seems now, well [Eb] now
