[A] may your learn from the view where you're kneeling
[E] know the fear of the world that you're feeling

[A] may you get what they fail to mention
[E] may your love be your only religion
[B] preach it to us all

[E] may you lose what you offer gladly
[A] may you worship the time and it's passing
[E] stars won't ever wa[B]it for you
to watch them f[E]all

[C#m] we're the smoke on a burnt horizon
[A] we're a boat on a tide that's rising
[E] both the post and the pig you're untying
[B] butcher gone for the blade

[C#m] someday we may all be happy
[A] someday all make a face worth slapping
[E] someday we may be shocked to be laughing

[E] biting your tail

[C#m] we're the journey and the wind is whipping
[A] short hands on the clock still ticking
[E] both the egg and the red fox grinning
[B] his belly full for the day

[C#m] someday we may all want nothing
[A] and all forget that we'll get whats coming
[E] someday all say the world was something
[B] that we just couldnt change

[A] know your part in the calf and the killing
[E] see straight through the captain you're kissing
[B] helm lose in his hand

[E] may your words be well worth stealing
[A] put your hand on your heart while singing
[E] choirs sick of the s[B]ong
but they still gotta [E]stand
