Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Comes and goes

 Like in fits and dizzy spells

 Like the weather

 And it blows

 Like it knows what’s going wrong

 Like it’s clever

 Has a name, ohh

 but the name goes unspoken

 Weather vanes, ohh

 Were all twisted and broken

 So soldier on, soldier on

 Soldier on

 Soldier on

 Flailing to the whir of a snack machine

 And muted screams of an old regime

 And then oh

 Something gets in it

 The nightshade gets in it

 We were all fast asleep

 Were all so fast asleep

 But you woke us

 You woke us from the strangest dream

 that an aubergine

 could ever know

 Would ever know

 Would ee-ee-ee-ever know

(Whistling solo, play these chords

)

 Lava flows over crooks

 and craggy cliffs to the ocean

 And explodes in a steam

 heat fevered cyclical motion

 Has a name

 But the name goes unspoken

 It’s in vain

 Cause the language is broken

 So cast your own, cast your own

 Cast your own

 Soldier on

 Soldier on, soldier on
