SENSES WORKING OVERTIME

 

XTC

 

Intro on B string: 4-2-4-2-0-2

 

[G#m] Hey hey, the clouds are whey, There's straw for the donkeys

And the [C#m] innocents can all sleep safely all sleep safely.

[G#m] My, my sun is pie there's fodder for the cannons

And the [C#m] guilty ones can all sleep safely all sleep safely.

 

[A] and all the [G] world is football [A] shaped,

It's just for [G] me to kick in [B] space

And I can [A] see, hear, smell, touch, [B] taste - and I've got

[E] One, two, [B] three, four, [E] five senses working [A] o-[E]-ver-[B]-time

[A] Trying to [B] take this [E] all in, [B] I've got

[E] One, two, [B] three, four, [E] five senses working [A] o-[E]-ver-[B]-time

[A] Trying to taste the [B] difference 'tween the [A] lemons and [B] limes

The [A] pain and the [B] pleasure and the [E] church bells softly chime

 

[G#m] Hey hey, night fights day, there's food for the thinkers

And the [C#m] innocents can all live slowly all live slowly

[G#m] My, my the sky will cry jewels for the thirsty

And the [C#m] guilty ones can all die slowly all die slowly.

 

[A] And all the [G] world is biscuit  [A] shaped,

It's just for [G] me to feed my [B] face

And I can [A] see,hear, smell, touch, [B] taste- and I've got

[E] One, two, [B] three, four, [E] five sense working [A] o-[E]-ver-[B]-time

[A] Trying to [B] take this [E] all in, [B] I've got

[E] One, two, [B] three, four, [E] five senses working [A] o-[E]-ver-[B]-time

[A] Trying to taste the [B] difference 'tween the [A] lemons and [B] limes

The [A] pain and the [B] pleasure and the [E] church bells softly chime

 

[A] And [G] birds might [A] fall from [G] black skies [A] [G] woooo! [A] [A(13)]

[A] And [G] bullies might [A] give you [G] black eyes,[A][G][A][A(13)]

[A] And [G] buses might [A] skid on [G] black ice [A][G][A][A(13)]

[A] But to [G] me it's [A] very [G] very [D] beau-[A7]-ti-[D]-ful [A7][Bb][F7][Bb][F7]

[D] Beau-[A7]-[D]-ti-[A7]-ful [Bb][F7][Bb][F7]

[D] Doo doo doo [A7] doo (etc.) [D][A7][Bb][F7][Bb][F7] doo doo doo doo!

 

[Bb] And all the [Ab] world is football-[Bb]-shaped,

And I can [Bb] see, hear, smell, touch, [C] taste - and I've got

[F] One, two, [C7] three, four, [F] five [C7] senses working [Bb] o-[F]-ver-[C]-time

[Bb] Trying to [C] take this [F] all in, [C] I've got

[F] one, two, [C7] three, four, [F] five [C7] senses working [Bb] o-[F]-ver-[C]-time

[Bb] Try to tell the [C] difference 'tween the [Bb] goods and [C] crimes,

[Bb] Dirt or [C] treasure and there's

[F] One, two, [C7] three, four, [F] five [C7] senses working [Bb] o-[F]-ver-[C]-time
