Opium Tea Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

F Dm

Here I sleep the morningF through

'Til the wail of the call to praDmyer awakes me

And there ain't nothing at all to dFo but rise and follow

The day wherever it Dmtakes me

FI stand at the window and I look at the sea

DmAnd I am what I am, and what will be will be

FI stand at the window and I look at the sea

DmAnd I make me a pot of opium tea

Down at the port I waFtch the boats come in

Watch the boats come in can doDm something to you

And the kids gather around wFith an outstretched hand

And I toss them a Dmdirham or two

FWell, I wonder if my children are thinking of me

DmCause I am what I am, and what will be will be

FI wonder if my kids are thinking of me

DmAnd I smile and I sip my opium tea

At night the sea lashFes the rust red ramparts

And the shapes of hooded mDmen who pass me

And the moan of the wind lFaughs and laughs and laughs

The strange luck that fateDm has cast me

FWell, the cats on the rampart sing merrily

DmThat he is what he is and what will be will be

FYeah, the cats on the rampart sing merrily

DmAnd I sit and I drink of my opium tea

I'm a prisoner here, I can neveFr go home

There is nothing here to wiDmn or lose

There are no choiceFs needed to be made at all

Not even the choice of having to choDmose

FWell, I'm a prisoner here, yes, but I'm also free

DmCause I am what I am and what will be will be

FI'm a prisoner here, yeah, but I'm also free

DmAnd I smile and I sip my opium tea.

Someone should figure out the melody bit, the part the organ plays after the choruses.

Figure it out then post it, that'd be nifty.
