The Mother Hips - Mission in Vain
Standard Tuning
No Capo

Am                               Dm
The purpose of my mission was to see the ocean.                                
           Am                         E            D
I have not seen the ocean, I have not   tasted the rain.
Am                         Dm
And if you will not let me land this airplane, 
         Am                E            D 
trust my intuition then my   mission's in vain. 
c                  G             Am      Am G   
Why does time keep moving on so quickly? 
c              G                  Am     Am G
Why can't I distinguish dusk from dawn? 
c                  G             Am      Am G 
Why does time keep moving on so quickly?

Why does time keep moving on?

Am              Dm         
Captain, I have come a great long distance 
      Am                           E               D
at my protector's insistence and I   will not be detained. 
Am                      Dm 
Handcuffs cannot restrain my choices. 
            Am                            E              D
If we don't listen to our voices then our   mission's in vain.
