VERSE 1 [1:34]
I'm [D5]writing you now from the valley of the silver mo[Fsus4]on[Gsus4]
I [D5]get on pretty well here just sit around and hum my t[Fsus4]unes[Gsus4]
But when my [D5]words come out it's like oil and water
[Fsus4] Separation and [Gsus4]no reaction
The [D5]harden stone in the valley of the silver mo[Fsus4]on[Gsus4]
