An Elegant Chaos

• F

F            C 
Busy at home 

      Bb 
I was happy for a while 

        C 
But the joke is over 

F              C 
Looking down 

       Bb                 C 
At the carefully laid out infamy 

       F                       C 
Take a scythe, take a scythe, 

       Bb 
To the rotting core 

   C 
Of man-vegetaton 

F            C 
Now I sigh 

       Bb                         C 
At the cool cool attitude to ignorance 


    A5 
The look in your eyes 
         G5 
When you gave this to me 
     A5           G5 
Just put me on my guard 

        F 
In this elegant chaos 

C                   Bb C 
I stand to one side 


Shouting "ha" 
Was I forced into this? 
Or was it given to me? 
It's a nice idea - 
As a gift 
Or as something to try for a while 
70 years? 
It's neither one thing or the other 
My big fear 
Is to dig it at last 
And have it taken away 

bridge, no real chords - so I made them up 

Am                    E 
It?s not a problem of secrecy 

  G             D 
I take it in my stride 

      A                      E 
Did I learn to breathe to be killed like this? 

Am           E 
Faces to the glass 

           G           D 
I see them televise my death 

        A 
Oh, and here comes the part 

        E 
Where I break down and cry. 

People I see 
Just remind me of mooing 
Like a cow on the grass 
And that's not to say 
That there's anything wrong 
With being a cow anyway 
But people are people 
With the added advantage 
Of the spoken word 
We're getting on fine 
But I feel more of a man 
When I get with the herd.
