D                Bm
Could it be that one small voice
 D                    Bm
Doesn't count in the world?
Em                    A
Yellow like a geisha gown,
  Em            A
Denial all the way

Could this by three be ten
Honor marches on
Yellow like a geisha gown
Denial all the way

Chorus:
D A     G        D  A  G
Shaking through, opportune.
D A     G        D  A  G
Shaking through, opportune.

Are we grown way too far
Taking after rain
Yellow like a geisha gown
Denying all the way

Chorus

A      D  Em A D Em A
In my life

Ears that are still
Children of today on parade
Yellow like a geisha gown
Denying all the way
