              E         D              E              B
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
 
    E                   D       
The full moon is rising over dark water
        C               B
And the fools below are picking up sticks
        E                  D    
And the man in the gallows lies permanently
                C                        B
Waiting for the doctors to come back and tend to him,
 
      G                     D
The flat earth society is meeting here today,
G                      B            G
Singing happy little lies and the bright ship
            D        A
Humana is sent far away
F#                  G A    B
With grave determination....   And no destination, 
 
E         D              E              B
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
 
    E                   D
Yeah, nothing feels better than a spray of
        C               B
Clean water and the whistling wind on a calm summer night,
        E                  D    
But you'd better believe that down in their quarters 
                C                        B
The men are holding in for their dear lives,
    G                     D
The flat earth society is somewhere far away,
G                      B            G
With their candlesticks and compasses and
          D        A
The bright ship humana is well on its way
F#                  G A    B
With grave determination....   And no destination, 
  
 
E         D              E              B
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie (ad infinitum)
