        D     Asus4 A/C#  Aadd11
For the love, I&#700;d   fallen on
       D      Asus4 A/C# Aadd11
in the swampy August    dawn
       D        Asus4 A/C#  Aadd11              E
what a mischief you   would bring young darling!
         A/C#        Aadd11   E
when the onus is not all your own
            A/C#      Aadd11        E
when you’re up for it before you’ve grown
         A/C#        Aadd11   A/C#
Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh

from the faun forever gone
in the towers of your honeycomb
I’d a tore your hair out just to climb back darling
when you’re filling out your only form
can you tell that it&#700;s just ceremon’
now you’ve added up to what you’re from

Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh
