F#                      A
Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
       E                     F#
The insurgency began and you missed it
F#                     A
I looked for it and I found it
                E                  F#
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me

Chorus:
      D
A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe

Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters
Silence means security silence means approval
On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

 D
Let's begin again, begin the begin
F#                      A
Let's begin again like Martin Luther Zen
     E                    F#
The mythology begins the begin
F#
Answer me a question I can't itemize
                A
I can't think clearly, look to me for reason
                   E                        F#
It's not there, I can't even rhyme in the begin

Chorus:
      D
A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
F                               G C#
Example: the finest example is you

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me

Chorus:
      D
A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
 F            G      F         G
Let's begin again begin the begin
 F            G F G
Let's begin again
