F#m A B
And trash the crystal jets they kept in storage inside you!
D E
I was told never to question it.
A C#m F#m B D

F#m
And there is victory at sea.
D
And then there's the sun

Crashing down upon us
C#m
Faithful readership of the Old Warden. We beg -
F#m D
"No not another ode to the Garden! You've let the Book of Appeals pile up!"
