   A (x8)   C (x8)

  

   A (x8)                            C (x8)

   How long have we known each other now?    Five, ten years, and I

  

   A (x4)               C (x4)

   guess we've changed,   and we'd

  

   A (x4)                     C (x4)

   run into each other in the subterranean

  

   D (x8)

   world...     With the extras in their fright wigs and fins

  

   F (x8)

   on their way from funkhole to dugout...       and

  

   D (x8)

   one night would keel over into another,

   and there never would seem to be a day,  and

  

   F (x8)

   hey, you used to say you were polishing up on your survival tactics

  

   D (x8)

   (techinques) for the end of the world...      and

  

   C (x4)                      A# (x4)

   you, you used to dig your beak into my ear and say "nothing"

  

   F (x4)             A# (x4)

   like a secret...

  

   D(Gbass) (x4)    C(Fbass) (x4)     D(Gbass) (x4)   C(Fbass) (x4)

   How long have we known each other now?   Fifteen, twenty years maybe, and

  

   C (x4)                     A# (x4)

   certainly we've changed...         and we'd

  

   C (x4)                     A# (x4)

   run into each other in the subterranean

  

   D (x8)

   world...

  

   C (x8)

   And before I knew you or before we met

   oh yes, way before then I was

  

   D (x8)

   itching in the cradle, making my way to the slime pits & the sludge traps

  

   F (x8)

   looking for love...    and

  

   D (x8)

   all the bushy brats turned out from the western burgs

  

   C (x8)

   minced in the powdermills,   noctambulating around

  

   D (x8)

   nowheresville

  

   D (x8)

   and some were so desperate for sleep the only retreat was the

  

   C (x4)                          A# (x4)             F (x4)   A# (x4)

   sad dormitory... yes, one would go for a rest (or a test?)

  

   D(Gbass) (x4)    C(Fbass) (x4)     D(Gbass) (x4)           C(Fbass) (x4)

   How long have we known each other now?   up to thirty years I guess, and

  

   C (x4)                     A# (x4)

   maybe we've changed...         and

  

   C (x4)                          A# (x4)

   didn't we see each other in the subterranean

  

   D (x8)

   world?

  

   F (x8)

   You, did you really have your headress?  -  Hmmm.... yes

   I used to dress up

  

   D (x8)

   like a girl, and how did you ever make it back home?  I... I...

  

   F (x8)

   I'd leave a trail of pearls.  Did you ever see a doctor - or a priest?

  

   D (x8)

   oh yeah - a priest

  

   D (x8)

   do you remember the guy with the sign "the end is nigh"?    That was

  

   F (x8)

   me (do you remember what was written on the back?)

  

   D (x8)

                  and

   F (x8)

   Do remember the guy with a boxful of wind?  or maybe it was a cassette

  

   D (x8)

   I don't really... I don't know either - or was it me?

  

   C (x4)  A# (x4)  F (x4)  A# (x4)

  

   D (x8)                            F (x8)

   How long have we known each other now?   I've never seen you in my life

                                                            (forty years?)

   D (x8)                            F (x8)

   How long have we known each other now?   I've never seen you in my life

                                                             (fifty years)

   C (x8)                            A# (x8)

   How long have we known each other now?   I've never seen you in my life

                                       (sixty, seventy, eighty three years)

  

   C (x4)                     A# (x4)

   I hope that we've changed...         and

  

   C (x4)                             A# (x4)

   we've never seen each other in the subterranean

  

   A (x8)     C (x8)    D (finish)

   life...
