Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
Em
City’s breaking down on a camel’s back
GD
They just have to go ’cause they don’t know whack
Em
So while you fill the streets, it’s appealing to see
GD
You won’t get out the county ’cause you’re bad and free
Verse 2
Em
You’ve got a new horizon, it’s ephemeral style
GD
A melancholy town where we never smile
Em
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
GD
My dreams, they got her kissing ’cause I don’t get sleep, no
Chorus
Em
Windmill, windmill for the land
G
Turn forever hand in hand
D
Take it all in on your stride
Am
It is ticking, falling down
Em
Love forever, love is free
G
Let’s turn forever, you and me
D
Windmill, windmill for the land
Am
Is everybody in?
Verse 3
Em
Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats
GD
Lining them up like ass cracks
Em
Play these ponies at the track
GD
It’s my chocolate attack
Chorus
Em
Windmill, windmill for the land
G
Turn forever hand in hand
D
Take it all in on your stride
Am
It is ticking, falling down
Em
Love forever, love is free
G
Let’s turn forever, you and me
D
Windmill, windmill for the land
Am
Is everybody in?
Bridge
Em
Don’t stop, get it, get it
G
Until you’re cheddar header
D
