Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
I was raised up believing
I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
Unique in each way you can see
And now after some thinking
I'd say I'd rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery
Serving something beyond me
Chorus
But I don't, I don't knowwwwwwwwww what that will be
I'll get back to you someday, sooooooon, you will see
Verse 2
What's my name, what's my station
Oh, just tell me what I should do
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
That would do such injustice to you
Or bow down, and be grateful
And say "Sure, take all that you see"
To the [D7#M]men who move only in dimly lit halls
That determine my future for me
Chorus
But I don't, I don't knowwwwwwwwww who to believe
I'll get back to you someday, sooooooon, you will see
Verse 3
If I know only one thing
It's that everything that I see
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
Often I barely can speak
Yah, I'm tongue tied and dizzy
And I can't keep it to myself
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
Why should I wait for anyone else?
Chorus
And I know, I knowwww, youuuuu will keep me on the shelf
I'll come back to you someday, soooooooon, my saint

If I had an orchard
I'd work till I'm raw
If I had an orchard
I'd work till I'm sore

And you would wait taaaables, and soon run the store
Go hail in the sunlight
My light in the dawn
If I had an orchard
I'd work till I'm sore
4th 7th 5th 2nd 5th 4th D# G7M
If I had an or chard I'd work till I'm sore
Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Someday I'll be like the man on the screen
