Wond'ring Again   
 
INTRO  D Dsus2 C  
              Am         Cmaj7        G         D      F (Fmaj7)  D  Dsus2  
There's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea,  
          Am       Cmaj7   G                 D        F (Fmaj7)  D  Dsus2  
and the motor car magical world long since ceased to be,  
         Am          Cmaj7   G            D        F  (Fmaj7)  D  Dsus2  
when the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree.  
   C            D          C     D  
Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride,  
 C            D                   C            D  
spawning new millions throws the world on its side.  
  G             C             G            Gm         Cm7  
Supporting their far-flung illusion,  the national curse,  
    G           D        F           C            D  
and those with no sandwiches please get off the bus.  
    Am         Cmaj7        G         D       F  (Fmaj7)  D  Dsus2  
The excrement bubbles, the century's slime decays  
           Am           Cmaj7     G              D      F (Fmaj7)D Dsus2  
and the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say  
      Am      Cmaj7     G           D      F  (Fmaj7)  D  Dsus2  
it's under control and we'll soon be on our way  
      C              D          C          D  
to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games  
         C              D          C          D  
of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain.  
        G     C             G            Gm           Cm7  
The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old,  
      G           D            F          C              D  
and those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes.  
C                    Am                   G               D Dsus2  
We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.  
C                    Am         G                    D Dsus2  
Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told.  
C               D                 G   Em         D              Em  (1)  G  
Stumbled on a daffodil which she crushed in the rush, heard it sigh,  
                 D Dsus2  
and left it to die.  
    Em          G               D             C           D  Dsus2  
At once felt remorse and were touched by the loss of our own,  
          Em          G            D             C                 D Dsus2  
held its poor broken head in her hands, dropped soft tears in the snow,  
          Dm        C          G         Em          D  
C           Am           G               D Dsus2  
Wond'ring aloud will a son one day be born  
C                  Am           G                  D Dsus2 Em D Dsus2   (2)  
to share in our infancy in the child's path we've worn.  
C                D                 G   Em         D              Em   G  
In the aging seclusion of this earth     that our birth did surprise  
                 D  
we'll open his eyes.  
(1)  
Em        G
