Tuning: Standard
Here's a version with what I think are the words he sings in the
middle of the song.
INTRO: G - - - | - - D – (x4)
VERSE 1:
(D) G
In the days when we were swinging from the trees
C G
I was a monkey stealing honey from a swarm of bees
G
I could taste, I could taste you even then
C G
And I would chase you down the wind
CHORUS
Em Am G D
You could go there if you please, wild honey
Em Am G D
And if you go there, go with me, wild honey
INTRO progression x2
VERSE 2:
G
Did I know you? Did I know you even then?
C G
Before the clocks kept time, before the world was made
G
From the cruel sun.
C G
You were my shelter, you were my shelter and my shade

CHORUS:
Em Am G D
If you go there go with me, wild honey
Em Am G D
You can do just what you please, wild honey
Em Am G D
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze, Wild honey
Em Am G D G
Wild, wild, wild
INTRO progression x2
VERSE 3:
G
I'm still standing, I'm still standing where you left me
C G
Are you still growing wild with everything tame around you?
G
I send you flowers, cut flowers for your hall
C G
I know your garden is full, but is there sweetness at all
BRIDGE:
Em C C C/B Am C G G/F
What is soul? Love me, give me soul
CHORUS:
Em Am G D
If you go there with me, Wild honey
Em Am G D
Won't you take me, take me please, Wild honey
Em Am G D
Yeah, swinging through the trees, Wild honey
Em Am G D G (Intro progression x4, end on G)
Wild, wild, wild
I strum the chords like this:
1 & 2 &(3)& 4 & (1)& 2 &(3)& 4 &
D U X U U X U | U X U U D U
The X's are a rake across muted strings.
