#Hi y'all,
#Here's another catchy ditty from their early days:
[---]"What For" James
To[C]day, [F]I won't think of any [G]sad things.[G]
Will not [C]think of torture [F]or the rape of [G]nature.[G]
Just [C]today, [F]I won't touch those [G]sickening papers.[G]
Will just [C]let myself bet [F]swept away by this [G]beautiful day.[G]
[Chorus:]
What [C]for, [F]tell me, tell me, what [G]for?
What [C]for, [F]tell me, tell me, what [G]for?
The [C]sunset to[F]night is be[G]yond all words.[G]
In the [C]sky above the [F]square, startling [G]spirals dancing on air.
[Chorus]
[Solo]
I will [C]pass through the glass [F]into air past those [G]birds.[G]
In the [C]square, I am sun, [F]I am sky in my m[G]ind's eye.[G]
To[C]day, [F]I will dive into [G]foaming seas.
Sick [C]fish myself[F] and some s[G]trange debris.
[C]I would prefer to be [F]anywhere a[G]way from here[G-G7-Am7] (4x)
[Chorus]
I will [C]pass through the glass [F]into air past those [G]birds.[G]
In the [C]square, I am s[F]un, I am s[G]ky.[G]
[Chorus]
[Whistle to end]
