Verse: 
Dm   Am                G        F                  C          Dm
Come clean through the waves of debris, the mind’s eye sets to go
   C                          Dm
So hang onto that number like gold
Dm       Am        G          F         C             Dm
And get thee back to the old truth, July Jones, July Jones
    Em              Am           F
Cuz baby, there’s a lot we don’t know

Prechorus (pluck through each):
F   F#m2     F    C      F    F#m2  F   
Ooolalalalal Ooolalalala Ooolalalala

F           Caddg                   Amaddg
(One of the greats on the way, hold on!) x2
           Em                              F
Behind the daylight, who knew what it could feel like..

(*Repeat Intro once)

Verse 2:
Dm   Am                G               F
Class war held your hands through your plans
        C            Dm    C                             Dm
And I’d be, the safe free, baby there are worse things to be
Dm       Am        G             F         C             Dm
So lay free in your faith beside me but lay low, but lay low
    Em              Am           F
Cuz baby, there’s a lot we don’t know

(*Repeat Prechorus once)

Verse 3:  
Dm    Am                 G            F               C
Class war, kissed your lips, left you stripped to your toes
     Dm          C                   Dm
And I know, that baby its so much to outgrow
Dm       Am      G          F         C             Dm
So get thee back to the old truth July Jones, July Jones
    Em              Am           F
Cuz baby, there’s a lot we don’t know

(*Repeat Prechorus once)
