as a guideline...

F (133211@1)                     CTake (x32010@1)a scythe, take a scythe,

BbTo (x1333x@1)the rotting core

FIn (133211@1)this elegant chaos

C (x32010@1)                 BbC
I stand to one side

Shouting "ha"
Was I forced into this?
Or was it given to me?
It's a nice idea -
As a gift
Or as something to try for a while
70 years?
It's neither one thing or the other
My big fear
Is to dig it at last
And have it taken away

[bridge, no real chords - so I made them up]

Am (x02210@1)                  EIt's (022100@1)not a problem of secrecy

G (320003@1)           DI (xx0232@1)take it in my stride

A (x02220@1)                    EDid (022100@1)I learn to breathe to be killed like this?

Am (x02210@1)         EFaces (022100@1)to the glass

G (320003@1)         DI (xx0232@1)see them televise my death

AOh, (x02220@1)and here comes the part

EWhere (022100@1)I break down and cry.

People I see
Just remind me of mooing
Like a cow on the grass
And that's not to say
That there's anything wrong
With being a cow anyway
But people are people
With the added advantage
Of the spoken word
We're getting on fine
But I feel more of a man
When I get with the herd.
