The chords for the 'O the new children' parts are all the same. Listen to the song to find out how it goes. *****
The Amantique people are Ddown in the dungeons AmRun by machines and Dafraid of the tax Their Amheads in the grave and their Dhands on their eyes AmHauling their hearts around Gcircular tracks PreFtending forever their Cmasquerade towers Are Gnot really riddled with Gsus4widening cracks GAnd I wave goodbye to iron FAnd smile hello to the Gmair
O the Gmnew children Fdance I am Ebyoung All Daround the Gmballoons I will Flive EbSwaying by Dchance I am Gmstrong To the Fbreeze from the Ebmoon I can Dgive GmPainting the Fsky You the Ebstrange With the Dcolors of Gmsun Seed of Fday EbFreely they Dfly Feel the Gmchange F Eb D Gm / F / E D G As all become one Know the Way, know the Way
G / / / (x2)
The Gvelocity addicts Cexplode on the highway IgGnoring the journey and Cmoving so fast Their Gnerves fall apart and they Cgasp but can't breathe They Grun from the cops of the Cskeleton past PetriFfied by tradition in a Cnightmare they stagger GInto nowhere at all and then Bblook Amup FagGhast GAnd I wave goodbye to speed FAnd smile hello to a Gmrose
O the new children play I am young Under juniper trees I will live Sky blue or grey I am strong They continue at ease I can give Moving so slow You the strange That serenely they can Seed of day Gracefully grow Feel the change And yes still understand Know the Way
GThe king and the queen in their BbcasAmtle Gmof billFboards GSleepwalk down the hallways BbdraAmggiGmng beFhind GmAll their possessions and BbtranAmsient GmtreasFures GmAs they go to worship Bbthe eAmlectGmronic Fshrine COn which is playing the Eblate late commercial In that Fhollowest house of the Copulent Gblind GAnd I wave goodbye to Mammon FAnd smile hello to a Gmstream
O the new children buy I am young All the world for a song I will live Without a dime I am strong To which they belong I can give Nobody owns You the strange Anything anywhere Seed of day Everyone's grown Feel the change Up so big they can share Know the Way
The Cvaudeville generals Bbcavort on the Cstage And shatter their audience with Bbsubmachine Cguns And Freedom and Violence the Bbacrobat Cclowns Do a balancing act on the Bbgraves of our Csons
(single notes mostly matching melody - suggested tab -->) -0-2-3-2-0----------------| -----------1-3-1-0--------| -------------------2-0----| -----------------------0--| --------------------------| --------------------------| While the tapdancing Emperor sings "War is peace" (N.C.) And Love the Magician disappears in the fun
GAnd I wave goodbye to murder FAnd smile hello to the Gmrain
O the new children can't I am young Tell a foe from a friend I will live Quick to enchant I am strong And so glad to extend I can give Handfuls of dawn You the strange To kaleidoscope men Seed of day Come from beyond Feel the change The Great Wall of Skin Know the Way
DThe bloodless husbands are Cjesters who listen Like Dsheep to the shrieks and comCmands of their wives And the Dmen who aren't men leave the Cwomen alone DSee them all faking love on a Gbed made of Fknives ADfraid to discover or Ctrust in their bodies And in Dsecret divorce they will Gnever surFvive GAnd I wave goodbye to ashes FAnd smile hello to a Gmgirl
O the new children kiss I am young They are so proud to learn I will live Womanwood bliss I am strong And the manfire that burns I can give Knowing no fear You the strange They take off their clothes Seed of day Honest and clear Feel the change As a river that flows Know the Way
The Amantique people are Dfading out slowly Like Amnewspapers flaming in Dmind's suicide AmGodless and sexless diDrectionless loons Their Amsham sandcastles disGsolve in the tide They Fput on their deathmasks and Ccompromise daily The Gnew children will live for the BbeldAmers Fhave Gdied GAnd I wave goodbye to America FAnd smile hello to the Gmworld
