D             F#m         Bm
Chop that wood carry water,
                   G
what's the sound of one hand clapping
D         A                       G D A
Enlightenment, don’t know what it is

Every second, every minute
It keeps changing to something different
Enlightenment, don't know what it is

A                          Bm
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
         G
It says it's non attachment
              A
Non attachment, non attachment

I'm in the here and now, and I'm meditating
And still I'm suffering, but that's my problem
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Wake up!

A
Enlightenment says the world is nothing
                Bm
Nothing but a dream
       G                                 A
Everything's an illusion and nothing is real

Good or bad baby you can change it
Anyway you want you can rearrange it
Enlightenment, don't know what it is

Chop that wood and carry water
What's the sound of one hand clapping?
Enlightenment, don't know what it is

All around baby, you can see
You're making your own reality everyday because
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
One more time

Enlightenment. don't know what it is
It's up to you
Enlightenment. don't know what it is
It's up to you everyday
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It's always up to you
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It's up to you, the way you think
