De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da    (intro) (midi)

 

  A                    E      Bm

1.  Don't think me unkind,

A                    E        Bm

    words are hard to find.

A                   E                         Bm

    The only cheques I've left unsigned,

A                                  E              Bm

    from the banks of chaos in my mind.

D                                                 E

    And when their eloquence escapes me,

D                                            E

    their logic ties me up and rapes me.

 

      A                                      E                  D

De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you.

      A                                          E                       D

De do do do, de da da da, their innocence will pull me through.

       A                                      E                 D

De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you.

      A                                                 E                       D

De do do do, de da da da, they're meaningless and all that's true.

 

A                 E              Bm

2. Poets, priests and politicians,

A                            E                     Bm

    have words to thank for their positions.

A                         E                         Bm

    Words that scream for your submission,

A                        E                           Bm

    and no one's jamming their transmission.

D                                                  E

    'Cos when their eloquence escapes you,

D                                            E

    their logic ties you up and rapes you.
