Seleccion acordes: Sarah Harris

C#              E            B   G#m
Once upon a time, a wild God zoomed
A#m               F#                      B
All through his memory in which he was entombed
        C#        E                B          G#m
It was rape and pillage in the retirement village
            A#m            F#                        B
But in his mind he was a man of great virtue and courage

         C#            E               B             G#m
And he flew out the window with his long, trailing hair
         A#m             F#                          B
And the smoke from the bodies went straight up in the air
           C#                 E            B              G#m
He was a wild God searching for what all wild Gods are searching for
        A#m                F#                            B
And he flew through the dying city like a prehistoric bird

          C#                 E           B         G#m
He went searching for the girl down on Jubilee Street
           A#m           F#       B
But sheʼd died in a bedsit in 1993
        C#                     E                  B
So he flew to the top of the world and looked around
            G#m                   A#m            F#                           B
And said, "Where are my people? Where are my people to bring your spirit down?"

G#m F# G#m F#
G#m F# B C# E F#

C#         E             B             G#m
A wild God searching for a faraway girl
         A#m            F#                      B
Who was basically a mirage but nevertheless loomed large
            C#             E           B              G#m
She would hang under the rail as he blew ʼround the room
          A#m           F#                 B
And make love with a kind of efficient gloom

          C#              E             B           G#m
And the people on the ground cried, "When does it start?"
         A#m                   F#                                        B
And the wild God says, "It starts with a heart, with a heart, with a heart, with a heart"
          C#             E              B           G#m
And the people on the ground cried, "When does it end?"
         A#m                         F#                          B
And the wild God says, "Well, it depends, but it mostly never ends

              C#         E            B        G#m
ʼCause Iʼm a wild God flying and a wild God swimming
           A#m         F#              B
And Iʼm an old, sick God dying and crying and singing"

                   G#m
Bring your spirit down
F#                                 G#m       F#
Oh, weʼre wild Gods, baby, weʼre wild Gods
                         G#m  F#
Yeah, bring your spirit down
                B
Oh, well, heʼs moving through the flames of anarchy
           C#
And heʼs moving through the winds of tyranny
          E                             F#                       G#m   F#
And the sweet, sweet tears of liberty, yeah, moving ʼround the world

                          G#m                      F#
Heʼs moving through your body like a prehistoric bird
                        G#m   F#
Heʼs moving ʼround the world
                                  B                            C#
Oh Lord, well, if youʼre feeling lonely and if youʼre feeling blue
                                   E
And if you just donʼt know what to do
  F#                G#m
Bring your spirit down

 F#                                G#m      F#
Oh, weʼre wild Gods, baby, weʼre wild Gods
                                 G#m
Iʼm a wild God, baby, Iʼm a wild God
      F#                                       B
Oh, here we go, weʼre going to the cradle of Africa
                   C#
Weʼre going to Russia, weʼre going to China
         E
To the United States of America
 F#                       G#m      F#                  G#m                    F#
Yeah, moving ʼround the world, yeah, moving like a great, big, beautiful bird

                         G#m
Weʼre moving ʼround the world
  F#                                         B
Yeah, and heʼs swimming at the end of the rotting pier
                 C#
He swims to the end of his rotting idea
  E
Swim to the hymn, swim to the prayer
      F#                G#m  F#
And bring your spirit down
                                  G#m  F#
Iʼm a wild God, baby, Iʼm a wild God
                         G#m        F#
Well, here we go, yeah, here we go
