Great Mission Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Eb][D]
The jungle [Cm]near

[Verse 1]
[D][Eb]
[D]Manaus
The Amazonas [Eb]full [D]of piranhas[Eb][D][Eb]
The bird[D]s of paradise[Eb]
[D]Dis[Eb]appear int[D]o the green desert[Eb][A][D]
For years and years
We are hungry [Eb]and desperate
For the only [D]thing [Eb]worth [D]living[Eb]
[D]The [Eb]excess[D][Eb][D]
We end our Great Mission
[Eb]Exha[D]usted and [Eb]sad[D]
And there is [Cm]no hope l[Eb]eft[D]
When [Eb]suddenly
[D]In a cloud of [Eb]golden smog[D]
The father [Eb]of excess[D]
Jumps out of the water of
[Eb]The Amazonas [D]full of [Eb]piranhas
[D]And screams to [Eb]the l[D]os[Eb]t souls[D][Eb]

[Verse 2]
[C#]What [D]are you doing[C] at [D]the Amazonas
[C#]Leave [D]Manaus full of piranhas (burp!)
You [F#m]will not f[D]ind excess in the jungle

[Verse 3]
And then [D]He
opened [Gm]the green curtain
Made of fleshy [D]leaves and said

[Verse 4]
[D]I show you the excess of the
[Eb]Asphalt [D]a M[Eb]ontma[D]rtre
The excess of the belly- dance
In Abu Dhabi
And the excess of the everlasting night
in [Eb]Manhattan [A](bu[D]rp!)

[Verse 5]
Are you [D]ready for the sensation
[Bb]del [D]tango a Ro[Eb]sario?
[D]Leave him, the gorilla
Leave the jungle of the Amazonas
Leave Manaus full of piranhas
And follow [Eb]father excess...

[Outro 1]
