[verse]

                     Emaj13
Gold sun rolls around 
                     Fm7+5
Chocolate nipple brown 
                     G#m7+5
Tumble from your arms 
                     A#m7+5
Like the ground your breasts swell 
                     Emaj13
Land awake from sleep 
                     Fm7+5
Hares will kick and leap 
                     G#m7+5
Flowers climb erect 
                     A#m7+5          D#11/A#
Smiling from the moist kiss of her rainbow mouth 

[Chorus]
     Gadd2/B
Stage left 
     D                 A/C#             Gadd2/B

Stage right

Now the son has died, the father can be born 
     Gadd2/B
Stand up 
     D                A/C#               C-5     
If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke 
    C
New life 
         Am6/F    Fmaj7  F#
We'd applaud a new life

[verse]
                
                Emaj13
Odin mounts the tree  
                Fm7+5
Bleeds for you and me 
                G#m7+5
Splashing on the lamb 
                 A#m7+5
Gamboling with spring's step 
                  Emaj13
Buds will laugh and burst 
                Fm7+5
Racing to be first 
                G#m7+5 
Turning all the soil 
                 A#m7+5                     D#11/A#
As the promptress fingers through her spinning script

We'd applaud a new life

A-5/C#         Emaj7   E6
Easter, in her bonnet 
A-5/C#         Emaj7   E6
Easter, in her hair
