Donovan - Age of treason

On a ^Glone and windy ^Chill^Gtop be^Cneath a ^Droof of ^Emtin In a ^Clittle wallpapered ^Gbedroom I ^B7done my gro^Cwin' 'Twas ^Cthere I ^Ddreamt my ^Emdreams, ^Cthere I ^Dhung my ^Emjeans And ^Cwandered ^G/Bthrough my ^Ampuber^Am7/Gty as ^Dall do ^{C G D C G}

My ^Gmother was a ^Ctight ^Gknot ^Cbound up ^Dwith false ^Emguilt ^CStrapped up in her ^Gfearing ^B7wall she had ^Cbuilt An ^Cinde^Dpendent ^Emgirl in a ^Cdark and ^Dcruel ^Emworld She'd ^Clost the ^G/Bway to ^Amsay, "O^Am7/GK, now ^Dlay back" ^{C G D C G}

We ^Gdisagreed on ^Cmost ^Gthings, I ^Cshouted ^Dpeace and ^Emlove The ^Cfamily of ^Gmankind, the ^B7symbol of the ^Cdove She ^Conly ^Dsaw the ^Emsurface of ^Cthings ^Dbefore ^Emher face But ^CI was ^G/Byoung and ^Amargued ^Am7/Gon for ^Dhours ^{C G D C G}

My ^Gfather he liked ^Cpoet^Gry, a ^Cscholar he ^Dmight have ^Emmade Had he ^Cnot been born a ^Gpoor boy bare^B7foot and under^Cpaid So the ^Cman worked ^Dwith his ^Emhands ^Cup and ^Ddown the ^Gland ^{C G} His ^Cdreams ^G/Bforgot he ^Amthought that ^Am7/GI must ^Dfollow ^{C G D C G}

With his ^GMarxist worker's ^Cwis^Gdom he'd ^Cread a ^Dthing or ^Emtwo He ^Conce had been a ^GMason but ^B7he never followed ^Cthrough ^CAlways ^Dkind and ^Emthoughtful, ^Csmelling of ^Dmachine ^Emoil And he ^Cread me ^G/Bpoet^Amry of ^Am7/Gvisio-^Dnaries ^{C G D C G}

I ^Gflunk my way to ^Ccol^Glege, a ^Clooser ^Dkind of ^Emschool ^CGot me borrowed ^Gplay time ^B7arty, feeling ^Ccool ^CJust to ^Dlive an ^Emartist, ^Cdiggin' the ^Dravin' ^Emscene ^CReading ^G/BKerou^Amac and ^Am7/GGinsberg ^Dwell deuced ^{C G D C G}

I ^Gwas not aca^Cde^Gmic, ^CArt and ^DEnglish ^Emlit The ^Chistory of ^Gmankind I ^B7liked that a ^Cbit And ^Cwhat was ^DI to ^Emdo, the ^Cchoices ^Dthey were ^Emfew A ^Cdownright ^G/Bdisgrace ^Amto the ^Am7/Gworking ^Dclasses A ^Cdownright ^G/Bdisgrace ^Amto the ^Am7/Gworking ^Dclasses A ^Cdownright ^G/Bdisgrace ^Amto the ^Am7/Gworking ^Dclasses A ^Cdownright ^G/Bdisgrace ^Amto the ^Am7/Gworking ^Dclasses
