 You're either sticking or pump-pumping 'em out
Drop me in the Bbdark green
 EbLock me in the Bbmist of the sFoutheast hEbill
Hide me in the Bbold crow black night
 EbHide me from the Bbmasochistic Fmarking of Ebtime
 I will stand like a Bbmountain
 EbI will stand like a Bbtuckamore Fstuck in the Ebwind
 Listen to the Bbdrum of the gulf go
 EbListen to the Bbdrumming it's Fso slow
 EbListen to the Bbdrum of the gulf go
 EbListen to the Bbdrumming it's Fso slow
 EbListen to the Bbdrum of the gulf go
