Day-dadada, Dadaday

[VERSE]
    Cm
The words of the prophet 
     Fm         Cm
were simple and plain
    Cm
And yet to the learned, 
   Fm        G7
he sounded insane.
   Fm
He asked for repentance 
   Cm
to all who have sinned
      Fm
Not a reed simply swayed 
       G7
by the wind

[VERSE]
    Cm
And when the Messiah's 
Fm           Cm
turn came to pass,
    Cm
The Savior was cursed 
       Fm         G7
by the same petty class.
          Fm
They said John had a demon, 
   G7
he tasted no wine.
    Fm
And Christ was a glutton, 
G7                Cm
with drunkards he dined.

Day-dadada, Dadaday

[BRIDGE 1]
       Fm
 Their lines were not cute
           Fm          C7
 nor their gestures or voice
      Fm
 They played with the flute
                       C7
 but the crowd won't rejoice
     Bbm
 The watchmen had sounded
       Fm
 their trumpets to warn
      Bbm
 They chanted a dirge
 C7                    Fm    G7
 but the people didn't mourn.

[VERSE]
   Cm
In Jesus's tradition 
    Fm        Cm
His followers preached,
    Cm
The world's destitution,
     Fm               G7
They touched and they reached.
    Fm
But two thousand years 
      Cm
never changed it a bit
    Fm
The old and the same 
      G7
marketplace.

[VERSE]
      Cm
We're looking for miracles, 
Fm          Cm
wonders and signs
      Cm
For a marvelous spectacle, 
Fm         G7
we fall in line.
    Fm
For silver and gold 
         Cm
and fine raiment and fame
   Fm
As though they were a prize 
G7             Cm
in a spiritual game.

[INTERLUDE]
Cm          Gm  Cm  C7
Day-dadada, Dadaday

[CHORUS 2]
       Fm
 We're deaf and we're mute
        Fm           C7
 and we gave them no chance 
      Fm
 They fiddled the flute
                 C7
 but then nobody danced
         Bbm
 They're true to their words
           Fm
 and their pledges they kept
      Bbm
 They sang in a dirge
     C7     Fm   G7
 but nobody wept.
