[Verse]
D               F#m          Bm7                Gmaj7
Chop that wood, carry water, what's the sound of one hand clapping
D         A6                        Gmaj7  D A
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
D             F#m          Bm7                  Gmaj7
Every second, every minute, it keeps changin' to something different
D         A6                      Gmaj7
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
A                        Bm                         Gmaj7
Enlightenment don't know what it is, it says it's non-attachment,
                A
non-attachment, non-attachment

D               F#m          Bm7           Gmaj7
I'm in the here and now, and now, and I'm meditating
D         A6                       Gmaj7  D A
And still I'm suffering but that's my problem

Everything's an illusion and nothing is real
D             F#m          Bm7                 Gmaj7
Good or bad baby, you can change it any way you want
