‘81
CAPO ON FIFTH
Am F
I found a little plot of land
C G
in the garden of Eden
Am F G
it was dirt and dirt is all the same
Am F
I tilled it with my two hands
C G
and I called it my very own
Am F Am (Am, G, Am)
There was no one to dispute my claim.
C G
Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
Am F G
The whole place had just cleared right out
Am F C G
It was hot in hell, so I lay me by a spring
Am F Am (Am, G, Am)
For a spell as naked as a trout
Am, F, C, G
Am, F, Am (Am, G, Am)
C G
The wandering eye that I have caught
Am F G
Is as hot as a wandering sun
Am F C
But I will want for nothing more, in the garden
G
Start again
Am F Am (Am, G, Am)
In my heart and into every heart but one

Am F C
Meet me in the garden of Eden,
G Am F G
Bring a friend, we are going to have ourselves a time
Am F C
We have are going to have a garden party,
G Am F Am (Am, G, Am)
It's on me, no sir-e, it's my dime
C G
We broke our hearts in the war between
Am F G
St. George and the dragon
Am F C G
But both in equal parts are welcome to come along
Am F Am (Am, G, Am)
I'm inviting everyone
Am, F, C, G
Am, F, A (Am, G, Am)
C G
Farewell, to loves that i have known
Am F G
Even muddiest waters run
Am F C
Tell me what is meant by sin, or none, in a garden,
G Am F Am (Am, G, Am)
Seceded from the Union in the year of '81?
C G
The unending amends you made
Am F G
Are enough for one life, be done
Am F C G
I believe in innocence, little darling, start again
Am F Am (Am, G, Fmaj7)
I believe in everyone
Am G Am F Am
I believe, regardless, I believe in everyone.
