Original song and chords
Am F G Am F
By air and by sea through hardness
G C E
and with our good old friends along
F G C Dm E
we’re wandering about in darkness
Am E Am
however you don’t hear the throng
G Am
You cannot hear that we are singing
F E
with voices electric-like
F G C
out of the hole and corner mikes
F C E
till the time our paths are springing
Am E Am
where your fundamentals hike
Am F G Am F
My late father poor ole Mpatis
G C E
he came from Smyrna on twenty two
F G C Dm E
and lived fifty years rattish
Am E Am
in a basement flat eschewed
G Am
In this land whoever’s loving
F E
they are eating filthy bread
F G C
they are eating filthy bread
F C E
and their desires are shoving
Am E Am
along an underground thread
Am F G Am F
Yesterday evening I saw a pal pass
G C E
just like a spook running around
F G C Dm E
he was riding a motorbike fast
Am E Am
and after him dogs chased him down
G Am
Rise soul of mine the power turn on
F E
flare up your clothes put them on fire
F G C
put all the instruments on fire
F C E
to blast it off like a dark daemon
Am E Am
our bloody voice so sorely dire
