musical ladders leaning on mountains
G D
bathed in white laughter under the sun

somebody's birthday came stumbling towards us
D G
wrapped in green gladness under the sun

Em A
we're gonna make it through this war tonight
Em A
someone hold this child up to the light
[Verse]
D D7
prostitute fingers fumbling with matches
G D
tucked in red couches under green moons
D7 G
mexican waitress got caught in the crossfire
D G
of militant families bursting with jews
[Chorus]

we're gonna break it to your folks tonight
Em A
kinda hope your pops don't hear me right
[Outro]

Oh yeah
