Hi y'all,
Here's another catchy ditty from their early days:
---
"What For"  James
  C (x32010@1)  F (133211@1)                  G (320003@1)        GToday, (320003@1)I won't think of any sad things.
         C (x32010@1)              F (133211@1)            G (320003@1)    GWill (320003@1)not think of torture or the rape of nature.
     C (x32010@1)    F (133211@1)                 G (320003@1)              GJust (320003@1)today, I won't touch those sickening papers.
          C (x32010@1)            F (133211@1)                G (320003@1)           GWill (320003@1)just let myself bet swept away by this beautiful day.

[Chorus:]
     	     C (x32010@1)  F (133211@1)                    G (320003@1)What for, tell me, tell me, what for?
     	     C (x32010@1)  F (133211@1)                    G (320003@1)What for, tell me, tell me, what for?

    C (x32010@1)      F (133211@1)        G (320003@1)            GThe (320003@1)sunset tonight is beyond all words.
       C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)               GIn (320003@1)the sky above the square, startling spirals dancing on air.

	[Chorus]
     [Solo]

       C (x32010@1)                    F (133211@1)                 G (320003@1)   GI (320003@1)will pass through the glass into air past those birds.
       C (x32010@1)               F (133211@1)             G (320003@1)       GIn (320003@1)the square, I am sun, I am sky in my mind's eye.
  C (x32010@1)  F (133211@1)              GToday, (320003@1)I will dive into foaming seas.
     C (x32010@1)        F (133211@1)        GSick (320003@1)fish myself and some strange debris.

C (x32010@1)                  F (133211@1)       G (320003@1)          G-G7-Am7
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here         (4x)

[Chorus]
       C (x32010@1)                    F (133211@1)                 G (320003@1)   GI (320003@1)will pass through the glass into air past those birds.
       C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)       G (320003@1)GIn (320003@1)the square, I am sun, I am sky.

[Chorus]

[Whistle to end]
