I've been C/Gtold there is a power in the blFood
Is it eC/Gnough, is it eGnough?Gadd11  
To carry me C/Gback from where I am to where I Fwas
And I C/Ghope there is some Gpower in my C/Gblood
I've been C/Gtold that all these ties will surely Fbind
And hold me C/Gtight, and hold me GtightGadd11  
'Cause I'm C/Ghanging at the end of my own Fmind
And I C/Ghope that all these Gties will surely C/Gbind
C/GWhen oh Fwhen, will I be C/Gchanged?
When oh Fwhen, will I be C/GchanGged?
From this AmdeAm/Gvil that I aFm
When oh C/GwhenG, will I be chC/Ganged?
And I've been C/Gtold I'll find the truth down in my Fbones
But I don't C/Gknow, I don't GknowGadd11  
I can't C/Geven seem to find my own road Fhome
And I C/Ghope there is some Gtruth down in my C/Gbones
Oh I C/Ghope that in this green and peacefulnFess
You'll let me C/Gstay, you'll let me GstayGadd11  
'Cause even a C/Gpoor serpent needs a place to Frest 
For a C/Gwhile as he is Gwaiting to be C/Gchanged.
C/GWhen oh Fwhen, will I be C/Gchanged?
When oh Fwhen, will I be C/GchanGged?
From this AmdeAm/Gvil that I aFm
When oh C/GwhenG, will I be chC/Ganged?
When oh whGen, will I be C/Gchanged?
