                       A
Good Morning, Mr. Indignation

A                                 Bm
 Looks like you haven't slept all night

Bm                   E
 In my professional opinion

E                                 A
 Go back to bed and turn off your light
[Verse 2]
                      A
I'm not a doctor or a preacher

A                           Bm
 I've no particular guiding star

Bm                   E
 In my professional opinion

E                               A
 I'm no more satisfied than you are
[Bridge]
                                       E
So what in the world are we whispering for?

Bm                                    A
 Everyone's naked, there's nothing to hide

                                      E
Gonna carry my grievances down to the shore

E                               A
 Wash them away in the tumbling tide
[Verse 3]
                            A
I heard two cows in a conversation

A                           Bm
 One called the other one a name

Bm                   E
 In my professional opinion

E                                      A
 All cows in the country must bear the blame
[Verse 4]
                      A
So, all rise to the occasion

A                    Bm
 Or all sink into despair

Bm                   E
 In my professional opinion

E                           A
 We're better off not going there
[Bridge]
                                       E
So what in the world are we whispering for?

Bm                                    A
 Everyone's naked, there's nothing to hide

                                      E
Gonna carry my grievances down to the shore

E                               A
 Wash them away in the tumbling tide
[Verse] (variation)
                              A
Wash 'em away in the tumbling tide

                     Bm
Wash 'em away in the tide

Bm
 All that really matters

       E         D6
Is the one who became us

 A/C#        Bm
Anointed and gamed us

E          A
 With His opinions
