        C
Well we blew past

The army motorcade

Well the bubbliest
   F
Of bubble baths
  F               C
Broke down on the bank
    Am             F
The gravity of the situation
   C           G              C
Is why our old thought bubble sank

       C           F
Well a fat, hungry english crow
    F            C            
Was picking at a carcass
    Am             F
The gravity of the situation
   C        G        C       riff
Is hard to focus and harness

     C           F
Well we met Bill Lowery
F              C
At the Queen's Hall
    Am             F
The gravity of the situation
  C       G          C
Became aparent to us all

(Chorus)

End with riff.
