Intro: A, D, E, D, A, D, EA
Comes and goes
D
Like in fits and dizzy spells
AD
Like the weather
A
And it blows
D
Like it knows what’s going wrong
AD
Like it’s clever
ED
Has a name, ohh
ED
but the name goes unspoken
ED
Weather vanes, ohh
EE7
Were all twisted and broken
AA7D
So soldier on, soldier on
AA7D
Soldier on
AA7D
Soldier on
AAdim7D
Flailing to the whir of a snack machine
E
And muted screams of an old regime
DE
And then oh
DE
Something gets in it
DE
The nightshade gets in it
DE
We were all fast asleep
DE
Were all so fast asleep
F#m
But you woke us
FC
You woke us from the strangest dream
B
that an aubergine
FE
could ever know
FE
Would ever know
FE
Would ee-ee-ee-ever know
(Whistling solo, play these chords…)
A, D, A, D, A, D, A, DE, D, E, D, E, D, E, E7AD
Lava flows over crooks
AD
and craggy cliffs to the ocean
AF#m
And explodes in a steam
EsusDmaj7
heat fevered cyclical motion
ED
Has a name
ED
But the name goes unspoken
ED
It’s in vain
EE7
Cause the language is broken
AA7D
So cast your own, cast your own
AA7D
Cast your own
AA7D
Soldier on
AA7D
Soldier on, soldier on
