Intro: D  
Let’s Dretire to our knees
With our books as our graces
And F#mkindly machines 
Of concern take our places
Grow Bmmotorized trees
Build robotic faces
Who F#msmile on command
Who can mind their own business
We’ll Emhold human hands
And rest human Afeet
And what Dthere shall we yield
In our own poor devotions?
That F#mpearl from the field
Cast back home to the ocean
Would you Bmcast out my fears
Or at least fix some tea
In our F#mcabbage white kingdoms
Of kings of no history
You can Empack up your things
I would still wear your Aring
In the DChapelcross Towns
Of the battlescared mornings
Fake F#mleaves rustling sounds
Lay rattlesnake warnings
From our Bmhomes underground
You can still hear them moaning
Don’t F#mcheat on your taxes
But as for your spouses
Dark Emsecrets come out
With comma or Awithout
When the Dtired young knees
Of your father walked out
To the F#mlord I disbelieve
But increase thou my doubt
He sat Ddown in the leaflessness 
A thousand more times
I went F#mback on my word
But I won’t go back this time
Neither Bmbondsman nor free
But a newspaper salesmen
Who F#mmoves about words
(e.g. “death do us part”)
If our Emprayers are unheard
…Well our prayers are Aunheard.

Chords Used:

Intro:

Let’s retire to our knees

With our books as our graces

F#m

And kindly machines

Of concern take our places

Grow motorized trees

Build robotic faces

F#m

Who smile on command

Who can mind their own business

We’ll hold human hands

And rest human feet

And what there shall we yield

In our own poor devotions?

F#m

That pearl from the field

Cast back home to the ocean

Would you cast out my fears

Or at least fix some tea

F#m

In our cabbage white kingdoms

Of kings of no history

You can pack up your things

I would still wear your ring

In the Chapelcross Towns

Of the battlescared mornings

F#m

Fake leaves rustling sounds

Lay rattlesnake warnings

From our homes underground

You can still hear them moaning

F#m

Don’t cheat on your taxes

But as for your spouses

Dark secrets come out

With comma or without

When the tired young knees

Of your father walked out

F#m

To the lord I disbelieve

But increase thou my doubt

He sat down in the leaflessness

A thousand more times

F#m

I went back on my word

But I won’t go back this time

Neither bondsman nor free

But a newspaper salesmen

F#m

Who moves about words

(e.g. “death do us part”)

If our prayers are unheard

…Well our prayers are unheard.
