[Verse 1]
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
[Outro]
