A Very Cellular Song
By Mike Heron
INTRO: G Am7 F Bb G Am7 F Bb
GWinteAm7r was coFld anBbd the clothing was thin
GBut the geAm7ntle shepherd F calls the tune Bb
GOh dear Am7mother whatF shall I do Bb
GFirst please your eyes andAm7 then yourF ears Jenny Bb
GExchanging love toAm7kens say goodFnight Bb
Lay downG my dear sister
Won't youC lay and takGe your rest
Won't you lDay your head upon your saviours breast
And I lGove you bCut Jesus loves you the best G
And I Cbid you goodnGight, goodnight, goodnight,
And I Cbid you goodnight, goodnight.
GOne of these mornings bright and early and fine.
Goodnight, goodnigCht
Not a crickGet not a spirit going to shout me on
GoodnighCt, goodnight G
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death
GoodnightC, goodnight G
And his rod and his staff shall comfort me
Goodnight, goodnight
Oh John the wine he saw the sign
Goodnight, goodnight
Oh John say I seen a number of signs
Goodnight, goodnight
Tell A for the ark that wonderful boat
Goodnight, goodnight
You know they built it on the land getting water to float
Goodnight, goodnight
Tell B for the beast at the ending of the wood
Goodnight, goodnight
You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good
Goodnight, goodnight
I remember quite well, I remember quite well
Goodnight, goodnight
I was walking in Jerusalem just like John
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
GWho woDuld Glose and who G7would bruCise
GOr who would live quitDe preGttily? G7 C G C G C
GAnd who wouldC love whatEm comes along D G
DAnd fill the air Gwith joyous song D G D G D G D G D
Who would go and who would come
Or who would simply linger
And who would hide behind your chair
And steal your crystallised ginger
GNebulous Am7nearnessF cry to me Bb
GAt this timeless Fmoment
EmSomeone dear to me wGants me Bbnear, makes me high Eb
BbI can hear vi Eb– bra - Abtions flyAb9 Eb
GThrough mangoes, pomegranates and planes C C7
GAll G7the Csame
GWhen it reacAm7hes me F BbandG teachAm7es Fme Bb
To sigEbh G C D7 G C D7 G
Who would mouse and who would lion
Or who would be the tamer
And who would hear directions clear
From the unameable namer
Who would skip and who would plod
Or who would like quite silly
And who would ride backwards on a giraffe
Stopping every so often to laugh
Amoebas are very small
OGh ah ee Amoo there's absoluDtely no strife G
Cliving the timeDless life Em
GI don't need a wife C
Dliving the timeless life Em
GIf I need a friend I just givCe a wriggle D D G D
GSplit right down the middCle D7
And whenG I look there's two of me
Both as hCand-some as Dcan be
Oh herGe we go slithering, D hGerDe Gwe go slitherCing and squelchiDng on
Oh here we go slithering, here we go slithering and squelching on
GOh ah ee Coo there's absoluteDly no strife G
Dliving the timeless life
GBlAmackF hBbair brown hair feather and scale
Seed and stamen and all unnamed lives that live
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
Feel the energy projection of my cells
Wishes you well.
May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on.
