Elephants chords

Capo on 3rd fret

If the [G]elephants have past lives
Yet are [C2]destined to always remember
It's no [Em7]wonder how they scream
Like you and [C2]I, they must have some temper
And I'm [Am7]dreaming of them on the plains
[G]Dirtying up their beds
[Am7]Watching for some sign of rain
To [G]cool their hot heads
And how [Em7]dare that you send me that card
When I'm [G]doing all that I can [C2]do
You are [G]forcing me to re[Em7]member
When all I [C2]want is to [D]just forget [Em]you

If the [G]tiger shall protect her young
Then [C2]tell me how did you slip by
All my [Em7]instincts have failed me for once
I must have [C2]somehow slept the whole night
And I'm [Am7]dreaming of them with their kill
[G]Tearing it all apart
[Am7]Blood dripping from their lips
[G]Teeth sinking into heart
And how [Em7]dare that you say you will call
When you [G]know I need some peace of [C2]mind
If you [G]had to take sides with the [Em7]animals
Won't you [C2]do it with [D]one who is [Em]kind

Instrumental: [D] [Am] [D]

If the [G]hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're [C2]living, you don't stand a chance
For a [Em7]time though you share the same bed
There are [C2]only two ends to this dance
You can [Am7]flee with your wounds just in time
Or [G]lie there as he feeds
[Am7]Watching yourself ripped to shreds
[G]Laughing as you bleed
So for [Em7]those of you falling in love
Keep it [G]kind, keep it good, keep it [C2]right
Throw your[G]self in the midst of [Em7]danger
But keep [C2]one eye [D]open at [Em]night
