sang of all the world and praised him hooray!
B A D A F Ab Gm C Bb Eb Bb F# A Abm
Stay alive to live or without, and he is down, all over and out
(Then repeat the intro once instead of twice, then into the 2nd verse, chords as
put the chords down too though because there are so many I can never remember them)

Bm C# C#/C C#/Bb Bb Bb/A Bb/G Bb Bb/A
My arms chancing and you will no way live long enough to repay me
Bb/G F#
I praise you anyway always
(Then into the really long bit. It's the same chord progression over and over, but each
moving up in semitones)

Night-time days are all weekless, alarm charm he's all up and dressed
F Eb Ab Eb B D C#m F# E A E C D#Dm
He dirty boy, he bathroom dances, and check his jam and breathe on glass

D F D F C F D
fowl, preserver of sick somehow, don't worry now
B Bb C# E Abm C#
Hold his mouth and stop him breathing over and out
(The outro plays those final three chords over and over, the time signature changes,
just a case of playing it over and over and a pattern starts emerging)
