        D     Asus4 A/C#  Aadd11 
For the love, Iʼd   fallen on 
       D      Asus4 A/C# Aadd11 
in the swampy August    dawn 
       D        Asus4 A/C#  Aadd11              E 
what a mischief you   would bring young darling! 
         A/C#        Aadd11   E 
when the onus is not all your own 
            A/C#      Aadd11        E 
when you?re up for it before you?ve grown 
         A/C#        Aadd11   A/C# 
Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh 
 
from the faun forever gone 
in the towers of your honeycomb 
I?d a tore your hair out just to climb back darling 
when you?re filling out your only form 
can you tell that itʼs just ceremon? 
now you?ve added up to what you?re from 
 
Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh

build your tether rain-out from your fragments

break the sailor?s table on your sacrum

for the love, comes the burning    young 
         C               Gsus4   G/B  C/G 
from the liver, sweating through your tongue 
            C               Gsus4   G/B      C/G                D 
well, youʼre standing on my sternum don?t you climb down darling 
       G/B             C        D 
oh the sermons are the first to rest 
         G/B                C          D 
smoke on Sundays when youʼre drunk and dressed 
        G/B               C       D 
out the hollows where the swallow nests 
         G/B         C 
Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh
