Duck say the horse is daft
Alright
Then the verse and chorus as before;
Sing with your heart and be satisfied, with mourning
Duck says you've disowned me
We are full of horses love
But we won't pull if you don't shove
You're faceless in this army

With his little wheel on the floor
Sulking in the cupboard is a DUCK

Mr. Flower, he's bent on fucking power
He grazed his face to claim his place
Then claimed he did some more
The rhythm for the next section is not shown, because I don't know
how to do it without having the tab stupidly long :P
After playing the lead of this once round, play the chords instead
for when it all kicks in for a second repetition.
