[Verse]
Am7           Am              Am7            Am
  The sun came up above the strange, white plain
Am7         Am         Am7       Am
Blood red flowers all wet with rain
        C
And the spirit wasn't really willing anymore
E
But the flesh was very, very strong

Am7 Am Am7 Am

         F
I've got very little money left
         E
And I've got no sense
              Am                       Dm
But I'll have none of your goddamned impudence
Am                                E
   The sun came up above the new, white fields
Am7             Am        Am7 Am
Everything was new again

[Chorus]
G                        Am
  Pure power stripped of meaning
 E                  Am7      Am
Sky burning, spring cleaning

[Verse 2]
Am7            Am            Am7           Am
Daisies on the hillside like cancer on the skin
Am7             Am               Am7            Am
Pretty, little, yellow eyes that flutter in the wind
               C                                   E
I'd be grateful my children aren't here to see this
                                  Am7        Am
If you'd ever seen fit to give me children

Am7 Am

        F                             E
And my defenses may be working with a skeleton crew
             Am                     Dm
But I'll be skinned alive before I'll take this from you
Am                                E
   The sun came up above the ocean out west
Am7        Am           Am7     Am
  All the colors of the rainbow

[Chorus]
         G                               Am
Stand up straight, you can see the house leaning
    E                Am7      Am
Day breaking, spring cleaning
