Am             G        Dm                      GVery clearly a case for corn flakes and classics.

A                          C         While little Dirt Cowboys, turned brown in their saddles.
    G           D          G           C               DSweet chocolate biscuits. And red rosy apples in summer.
         Am           G         Dm                           GFor it's hay make and "Hey mom, do the papers say anything good.

G             Fantastic the feedback,
C                           DThe honey the hive could be holding.
Am                      G               Dm                     GFor there's weak winged young sparrows, that starve in the winter.
Am                           CmBroken young children on the wheels of the winners.
G                                  A#          C            GAnd the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning.

Em                                                     C F C F C F C FToo hot for the band with a desperate desire for change.
G                   C                    G           We've thrown in the towel too many times.
            C                         GOut for the count and when we're down,

G             DCouldn't fool us.
G                            C                        DFor we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire.
Am                G             DmHand in hand went music and the rhyme.
G                   Am                      CmThe Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring.
G                           A#            C                 GFrom here on sonny, sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb.
