Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Comes and goes
 Like in fits  and dizzy spells
 Like the weather
 And it blows
 Like it knows  what’s going wrong
 Like it’s clever
 Has a name,  ohh
 but the name goes unspoken
 Weather vanes,  ohh
 Were all twisted and broken
 So soldier on, soldier on
 Soldier on
 Soldier on
 Flailing  to the whir of a snack  machine
 And muted screams of an old  regime
 And then oh
 Something gets in it
 The nightshade gets in it
 We were all  fast asleep
 Were all  so fast asleep
 But you woke  us
 You woke  us from the strangest  dream
 that an aubergine
 could ever  know
 Would ever  know
 Would ee-ee-ee-ever  know
 (Whistling solo, play these chords
 )
 Lava flows  over crooks
 and craggy cliffs to the ocean
 And explodes  in a steam
 heat fevered cyclical motion
 Has a name
 But the name goes unspoken
 It’s in vain
 Cause the language is broken
 So cast your own, cast your own
 Cast your own
 Soldier on
 Soldier on, soldier on
