Bm9And what will happen in the morning when the world
F1 F2 RIFF
It gets so crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning
Bm9And what will happen in the evening in the forest
With the weasel with the teeth that bite so sharp
F1 F2 RIFF
When you're not looking in the evening
Bm9But all the friends that you once knew are left behind
They kept you so safe and so secure amongst the books
F1 F2 RIFF
And all the records of your lifetime
Bm9What will happen, in the morning, when the world it gets so crowded
F1 F2 RIFF 2 TIMES
That you can't look out the window in the morning?
CBoRUS #1:
F1 Bm9 F1Bey, take a little while to grow your brother's hair

F1 F2And now that the family is part of a chain
F1 F2 G1 Bm7 RIFF C F1Take off your high shade, start over again
F1 F2 G1 G2 Bm9 F1
CBoRUS #2:
And now take a little while to find your way in here
Now take a little while to make your story clear
And now that you're lifting your feet from the ground
Weigh up your anchor and have a look round

NOTE: I use FBFFFGm chord names even though the song is in BFBGBB because
I'm more familiar with FBFFFGm names. It's hard to know what's going on
with all the horns on the record, but this is the general gist. I'm not
totally clear on everything. F2 and G2 are especially iffy chords.
