Hi y'all,
Here's another catchy ditty from their early days:
---
"What For" James
C F G G
Today, I won't think of any sad things.
C F G G
Will not think of torture or the rape of nature.
C F G G
Just today, I won't touch those sickening papers.
C F G G
Will just let myself bet swept away by this beautiful day.
[Chorus:]
C F G
What for, tell me, tell me, what for?
C F G
What for, tell me, tell me, what for?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/james/what_for_crd_ver_2.html ]
C F G G
The sunset tonight is beyond all words.
C F G
In the sky above the square, startling spirals dancing on air.
[Chorus]
[Solo]
C F G G
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds.
C F G G
In the square, I am sun, I am sky in my mind's eye.
C F G
Today, I will dive into foaming seas.
C F G
Sick fish myself and some strange debris.
C F G G-G7-Am7
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here (4x)
[Chorus]
C F G G
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds.
C F G G
In the square, I am sun, I am sky.
[Chorus]
[Whistle to end]
