Mother mother it's just not fair
                     A     G
We were so close to ???
                      C             Em
When the snakes were at your braist
                     A
We are most to the pledge
        C                                  G
We were 7 strokes from the ??? at heaven's edge

???
                         G       C
Conceived the plan in an office
                       G             C
We have the power to break the spell
                          A
We have the knowledge we just couldn't tell

G

We were so close to ???

When the snakes were at your braist
                     A
We are most to the pledge
        C                                  G
We were 7 strokes from the ??? at heaven's edge

F
                              G       F
You want to know how I could ??? her
                            G    C
Learn something older everyday
         G    C
We show ???
                             A
Like ??? in the real chair ???
