::NEW MOTHER NATURE::

VERSE 1: (acoustic)

D   Dsus4add2   (repeat)

Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they re standing in each other's way
You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind


CHORUS: (acoustic & electric)

                G[B] (320003@1)                   D[F#] (xx0232@1)'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
         G[B] (320003@1)                    D[F#] (xx0232@1)It's the new splendid lady come to call
         G[B] (320003@1)                   D[F#] (xx0232@1)It's the new mother nature taking over
      C[E] (x32010@1)     D[F#] (xx0232@1)She's gettin' us all
      C[E] (x32010@1)     D[F#] (xx0232@1)She's gettin' us all


VERSE 2:

Jocko said no when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use calling 'cause the sky is falling
And I'm getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight
