Chords

[Verse 1]
C             C
Yesterday the sky looked sweet

Dm                       Dm
when we dropped a big bomb at our feet

    Ab7              G7
and sometime soon we all might zoom

   F7                       Eb     E
to space and continue with another zoo
[Verse 2]
C                 C
Work and pace for paper face

Dm                     Dm
spend it wisely and keep it safe

            Ab7             G7
because the human race is a non-stop race

     F7                  Eb      E
with too many trials but no real case
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                           Ab7
Something about this second something about this hour

G7                           E
take away the money then the time becomes the power

  Am                         Ab7
a moment just to swim and to shower and to sing

       G7                         F            G
and to brighten and to dim and to sleep and to wander in
[Chorus]
C       C        Dm      Dm
Nothing oh sweet nothing

Ab7                  G7
today we're doing nothing at all

C       C        Dm         Dm
La la la la la whoa oh oh oh ah

Ab7   G7
Ai ai ai-ai-ai-ai
[Verse 3]
C           C
Yesterday I climbed a hill

     Dm                     Dm
then cycle down speedy on a great big wheel

Ab7          G7
feeling ill laboured still

F7                             Eb    E
grinding and stressing in that giant mill
[Verse 4]
C           C
Drove a car stop and start

Dm                               Dm
round and round in circles never got too far

Ab7                     G7
running barefoot on the hot hot tar

              F7
cause if you stop then you burn

          Eb       E
then your feet get scars
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                             Ab7
Something about this instance something about this minute

G7                                E
striving for the future but don't realise that we're in it

  Am                       Ab7
A moment just to float to ponder and to dote

   G7                     F             G
to dry and to soak and to take a little toke of that
[Chorus]
C       C        Dm      Dm
Nothing oh sweet nothing

Ab7                  G7
today we're doing nothing at all

C       C        Dm         Dm
La la la la la whoa oh oh oh ah

Ab7   G7
Ai ai ai-ai-ai-ai
