Milk And Honey

INTRO: G  D  C   D

G        C           D       C
Oh, what fools these mortals be
   Am     Em     D
So tragic and so funny
         G          C        D
Ships of bones that sail the sea
    Am       Em       D
For lands of milk and honey


            G     C       D
The promise of perfection sighs
Am        Em     D
Into each mortal ear
G     C     D  C
Never to be realized
Am            D         G     Am   D
That's how it is 'round here


G        C      D        C
Bound to some relentless gyre
   Am    Em       D
Dispassionate and true
           G         C       D
Paying the price for ice and fire
       Am         Em       D
That's what god's children do


          G      C    D
Sacrifice love's mystery
    Am   Em     D
For fantasy and pleasure
G         C      D    C
Doomed to repeat history
Am   D      G    Am  D  G  C  D  C  Am  D
Forever and ever


G       C       D        C
Wayward world I weep for thee
Am        Em        D
Spinning 'round the sun
           G    C    D
Wellspring of diversity
     Am        Em       D
Your roads all lead to one road


     G               C       D
What man has loosed upon the sea
Am     Em     D
Cannot be undone
G        C        D       C
Oh, what fools we mortals be
Am       D     G    Am
Each and every one
         D     C    G
Each and every one
