These are the notes that play throughout the verse, with no thought given to their rhythm. If the single notes sound a bit bare to you, fill in the
rest of a G chord while emphasizing the lower notes.

G Riff D
I know what I want and I know what we need
G Riff D
When the first fruits of the harvest begin to blacken and bleed
G Riff D
And the purple fruit gives way when you press it even so slightly
G Riff D
And through the thatches behind the green leaves we heard the fire-eyed macaw sing as evil as you please
A D
And his little song
G D A
is a very pretty song
D
But it's something I won't stand for
A G D
And as the sun rises over Columbia
A D
I know we're done for
G Riff
When the holes started forming in the tent
D
And you wondered out loud where the sunlight went
G Riff
I had a mind to tell you
D
But I didn't want to hurt you
A D
And if I knew
G D A
how to form the words
D
I would ask you what you'd come for
But as the sun rises over Columbia
I know we're done for
Yeah, as the sun rises over Columbia
I know we're done for
As the sun rises over Columbia
I know we're done for
