Chords

As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Verse 1]
       G
On the backs of hard time workers

         C#m7
Came the golden gilded calf

           C
Who like a hatchet split the oak tree

                    G
Into two unpleasant halves

D       G
Come ye golden age of plenty

         C#m7
Just you pray enough if there

              C
The boat that rowed you here is starving

                           G
And you promised you would share
[Chorus]
D      G
In the golden age

A
Golden age

        C      G  D
We're invited

G
Golden age

   A
Oh golden age

      C      G  D
Get excited
[Verse 2]
G
Pain can change a person

     C#m7
Into something you don't know

            C
I've seen entire generations

                          G
Feel the hurt and give up hope

D        G
Come the sweet smoke of nostalgia

         C#m7
Cheapest high that never lasts

           C
Fills your head all full of memories

                   G
That never came to pass
[Chorus]
D        G
Like the golden age

A
Golden age

          C      G  D
Free from sorrow

G
Golden age

A
Golden age

         C       G
Starts tomorrow
[Verse 3]
D         G
I've seen manifested destinies

       A
From unreason to unreason

        C
In this land you burn or freeze

                           G
There will be no temperate season

G
Will all ships be arisen

       A
In the rising of the tide

       C
Or all voices undesired

                         G
Simply drown without goodbye
[Chorus]
D      G
In the golden age

A
Golden age

        C       G  D
Can you dig it?

G
Golden age

     A
Whoa golden age

      C
Buy a ticket
[Outro] G C G D G
