with  D: xx0232   Dsus2: xx0230   Dsus4: xx0233


Song
----

D                            A
  I can't deal with all this undergrowth talk

          Em7                       A
  It just trips my feet and tangles up my thoughts

         G                          A
  You're trying to sell me your new faith

                      D
  Tell me why do you do it?

           G
  And your hands are clenched and you're talking low

            Bm
  With your eyes like flames and your voice like snow

    G                   Em                         A
  Someone dug a pit for you and you fell right into it


Chorus
------

  G
  Tell me how the universe was meant to be

  A                        D
  Take another sip of your cola

 G                         
  You be the colonel of the cavalry
 
       A                  Bm
  I'll be Francis Ford Coppola

  G
  We'll go together through the jungle night

           Bm
  Till the moon and stars fade out of sight

  G                       A7
  Waiting for the dawn to come

             D   G            D    G     D  G  D  G
  Here in Angola,  here in Angola.

        
                               
Rest of song
------------

  D                        A
  I can't remember how you got this way

        Em7                     A
  I can still recall you in a younger day

      G               A                    D
  The earnestness now drips off you like butter

          G
  And you fling round words in a holy war

          Bm
  And you look so vague but seem so sure

  G                           Em                     A
  Don't you ever just want to break right down and stutter.

   
     Chorus


  Gm                   D
  Ahhhh, why don't you let it go

  G  Gm/Bb              D              F#m
  Ahhhh,   you'd be too wise to know

       G         A               G
  That time will get you anyway

       A               Bb
  It's at your door today


Guitar instrumental:  C Bb C Bb C F   Bb C Bb C Bb C D
                                             

                          A
  I can't deal with these periscope views

      Em7                 A     
  The caveman scrawl that you call news

  G                                A                 D   
  Hey, why don't you make a note to cancel your next visit

         G
  Well I knew that things were getting out of control 
         
           Bm
  When you found your faith and lost your soul

             G                              Em
  If there's something you'd rather die than compromise

        A
  What is it?


     Chorus  


Ending is D G repeat then something else over the sax solo....
