G#m  F#       G#m        F#             G#m           F#
Hey, hey, the clouds are whey.  There's straw for the donkeys
        G#m           F#         C#m     G#m      C#m
And the innocents can all sleep safely------------------------,
G#m          C#m     G#m     C#m     G#m  
All--- sleep safely.
 
My, my, sun is pie.  There's fodder for the cannons
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely, all sleep safely.
 
A           Asus4                   A               Asus4           B
And all the world is football-shaped, it's just for me to kick in space
          Bsus4                    B
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
 
CHORUS:
             E    E    B      B     E                   A   E     B

A         B         E
Trying to take this all in.
B        E    E    B      B     E                   A   E     B
I've got one, two, three, four, five senses working o - ver – time.
A                   B                    A           B 
Trying to taste the difference between a lemon and a lime
A        B                E                   
Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime.

Hey, hey, night fights day.  There's food for the thinkers
And the innocents can all live slowly, all live slowly.
My, my, the sky will cry.  Jewels for the thirsty
And the guilty one's can all die slowly, all die slowly.
 
And all the world is biscuit-shaped, it's just for me to feed my face
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste.

And birds might fall from black skies----- Whoo!  Whoo!
And bullies might give you black eyes – Whoo!  Whoo!
And buses might skid on black ice – Whoo!  Whoo!
A       G           A     G      Asus4  A Asus4  A    Bbsus4  B  Bbsus4  B
But, to me, they're very, ve—ry- beau—ti-ful!    (England's glory!)

Beau---ti-ful----!    (A striking beauty!)
