INTRO:
Em  Em  Em  Em

VERSE:
 Em                                Am
Sunflower growing on a narrow raft in a fog bank on the Thames
B                                  Em
Adrift above the tide slime where nothing holy swims

 Em                           Am
Wherever did it come from likely bird shit someone said
 B                                  Em
Just a random freak of nature that refuses to play dead

Em                               Am
Oh to be that stand up straight past seven feet or more
Bm                                     Em
Aye she ain’t no faux silk pansy boys what washed up on the shore

Em                                Am
So let us stop and marvel for as long as we can spare
 B                          Bm               Em
Seems you have no need for heaven when your hearts already there


CHORUS:
G           D              Em
 Would that I should be so bold,
C          G           D
 Greatest story never told
Am           Bm            Em
  Worth the wait in solid gold,
C           D               Em  Em
 Would that I should be so bold


VERSE:
   Em                                 Am
I dreamed on sunshine skyway bridge ‘tween Tampa and St. Pete
B                                 Em
 Titanic and the iceberg and the twain still yet to meet

Em                                    Am
I was running long side Jesus Christ plumed helmet and red cape
 B                                    Em
When I vowed unto the Prince of Peace to aid in his escape

 Em                                      Am
When I felt the spear go in me from the right side to the left
       Bm                            Em
I was streaming Mississippi see Bob Dylan, Love and Theft

 Em                           Am
When Jesus turned to thank me for the gift of second sight
B                    Bm          Em
I waved him off “No worries man, I think I’ll be alright”


CHORUS
G           D             Em
 Would that I were born again,
C          G                   D
 Makes no difference where or when
Am        Bm               Em
  Knowing now what I knew then
C           D             Em  Em  Em  Em
 Would that I were born again


VERSE:
          Em                        Am
From the rainbow eucalyptus stands beyond the River Styx
        B                                 Em
To the blood falls in the Arctic it’s at least eight thousand clicks

        Em                                  Am
You can get there as the crow flies headed north from Singapore
            Bm                             Em
Ah but you better get a move on ‘fore she melts down to the core

       Em                        Am
When a red dawn in an angry sky portends blue rue and ruin
      Bm                              Em
It’s that wanna be a rich guy who pretends there’s nothing doing

Em                                        Am
But if that ticking time bomb ‘neath the Yellowstone should blow
     Bm                       Em
Ah, it’s adios amigo see you somewhere down below


CHORUS:
G           D                 Em
 Would that we should e’er forget
C             G                D
 Things that haven’t happened yet
Am         Bm              Em
  That someday we might regret
C           D                 Em
 Would that we should er’r forget

C           D                 Em  Em  Em  Em
 Would that we should er’r forget
