Richie Havens ft: Pino Daniele

Bm A G A (3v)

Bm       A
The forest got furry...
  G      F#7
the desert grew eyes
Bm       A
mountains got runny...
   G        F#7
and lakes turned to skies
Bm       A
a harvest of pumpinks grew
 G     F#7
sequins for ears and I
Bm    A   G F#m7
sighted for my sanity...
F#7   Bm
Gay Cavalier

Bm       A
A torrent of roses
  G      F#7
not tossed by a tear
   Bm     A
what Nature disposes
   G     F#7
man makes disappear
   Bm     A
one moment's sincerity
  G    F#7
smoothly sincere
    Bm  A   G F#m7
might bring back my sanity...
F#7   Bm

Bm       A
The terrible simmetry
  G      F#7
tinkles like glass
Bm       A
the future at Liberty
   G      F#7
is freed from the past
   Bm      A
the mountains and moments

merge with the here
      Bm  A   G  F#m7
and we're back with our sanity...

Bm    A
The window is open,
 G      F#7
ajar is the door
  Bm      A
no more of this groping
    G        F#7
we've reached the far shore
   Bm      A
the land that we searched
    G      F#7
for is nearly than near
      Bm  A   G F#m7
and we're here with our sanity...

Bm       A
With genius in genesis...
  G    F#7
goblins appear
Bm       A
but in patches for
     G     F#7
penances nothing to fear
Bm       A
love widely not wisely
  G      F#7
all Mankind is dear
      Bm  A   G F#m7
and the whole is Humanity...
