'81 CAPO ON FIFTH
  Am              F
I found a little plot of land

       C         G
in the garden of Eden

       Am                F      G
it was dirt and dirt is all the same

  Am                F
I tilled it with my two hands

       C             G
and I called it my very own

          Am         F           Am  (Am, G, Am)
There was no one to dispute my claim.

       C                      G
Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things

          Am             F              G
The whole place had just cleared right out

        Am     F         C       G
It was hot in hell, so I lay me by a spring

      Am       F          Am  (Am, G, Am)
For a spell as naked as a trout
Am, F, C, G Am, F, Am (Am, G, Am)
     C                  G
The wandering eye that I have caught

      Am        F        G
Is as hot as a wandering sun

    Am               F                    C
But I will want for nothing more, in the garden

G
Start again

      Am                  F           Am (Am, G, Am)
In my heart and into every heart but one

Am             F         C
Meet me in the garden of Eden,

G               Am                     F         G      
Bring a friend, we are going to have ourselves a time

Am                   F              C
We have are going to have a garden party,

 G             Am       F      Am  (Am, G, Am)
It's on me, no sir-e, it's my dime

    C                       G
We broke our hearts in the war between

    Am             F   G
St. George and the dragon

    Am            F          C         G
But both in equal parts are welcome to come along

Am            F     Am (Am, G, Am)
I'm inviting everyone
Am, F, C, G Am, F, A (Am, G, Am)
C                       G
Farewell, to loves that i have known

     Am        F      G
Even muddiest waters run

         Am              F                   C
Tell me what is meant by sin, or none, in a garden,

    G             Am         F          Am (Am, G, Am)
Seceded from the Union in the year of '81?

     C         G
The unending amends you made

    Am             F         G
Are enough for one life, be done

Am           F                 C          G
I believe in innocence, little darling, start again

Am             F   Am (Am, G, Fmaj7)
I believe in everyone

   Am        G           Am            F   Am
I believe, regardless, I believe in everyone.
