============================================================
Wild Honey
G
In the days
when we were swinging from the trees.
C
I was a monkey
G
stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
C G
And I would chase you down the wind
Em C G
You could go there if you please
D
wild honey
Em C G
And if you go there, go with me
D
wild honey
Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
>From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade
If you go there with me
wild honey
You can do just what you please
wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
wild honey
Em C G D
Wild... wild... wild...
I'm still standing, I'm still standing
Where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you?
I send you flowers
good flowers for your hall
I know your garden is full
but is there sweetness at all?
Em C Am C
love me so...
If you go there, go with me
wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please
wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees,
wild honey
wild... wild... wild...
