D* Dmaj7* Gthing
This is my forty-fifth depressing tune.
D* Dmaj7* Gthing
They're looking for money as they clean my artistic womb.
D* Dmaj7* Gthing
And when I give birth to the child I must take to flight,
D* Dmaj7* G G/E
'cause the black in our pocket won't let us fight
C
a proper fight.

'Cause we're all tired, and we'd like to know


Chorus:
G D6 C* Cm* G D
if we should pack our tents, shut down the show
G D6 C* Cm* G
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign.
C* Cm* G
But anything would be fine.
We're all told to dance but we never picked the tune.
Hanging like puppets they feed us from bent steel spoons.
But we're sealing our lips for the someday when the needle
and the vinyl play
all the songs of the pain, songs that explain all our
circles and strains.
So, hey baby, can you shed some light on the problem maybe?
'Cause we're all crying, and we'd like to know


CHORUS


Bridge:
D* Dmaj7* Am* Bm7*
Em* Dsus Em6 Em7
F#m Em7 F#m Em7
F#m C D
We're all dying and we'd like to know


Chorus 2:
G D6 C* Cm* G D
if we should pack our tents, shut down the show
G D6 C* Cm* G
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign.
G D6 C* Cm*
"Yes, we should like to see you pack your tents,
G D
shut down your show."
G D6 C* Cm* G
And we should like to see a burning bush-type sign.
C* Cm* G
But anything would be fine.
C* Cm* G
Oh, anything would be fine.


Ending:
Eb F#dim Fm6 G* (these are my best guess)
Eb F#dim Fm6 G*
The End.
