[Verse 1]
            E         B/D#                     C#m
A boy and a girl, albatross around their necks
                                   G#m             F#m     
Hands burning from the rope, ships stranded in the tropics
 B     E            B/D#                C#m
Acidification wiped out the tiger shark
                                   G#m                    F#m   
Let's try to save their souls, and trust the man with the Torah


[Chorus 1]
           E     B/D#      C#m
We got the wind in our sail,  like Darwin on the Beagle
A             E/G#               F#m
  Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
   B       E           B/D#                   C#m  
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
                       A              E/G#      F#m
And we can do so many great things together, together


[Verse 2]
               E             B/D#                 C#m
Breathe in the salt, slicing waves at forty knots
                                 G#m               F#m
Cumulonimbus in the sky, this is what we've waited for
                E                        B/D#            
And now there's no more hyperventilating in wheelchairs
B             C#m                              
  We're gonna save the last dog on Funk Islands
             G#m           F#m
We're had to do it wrong before we could do it right


[Chorus 2]
           E     B/D#      C#m
We got the wind in our sail,  like Darwin on the Beagle
A             E/G#               F#m
  Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
   B       E           B/D#                   C#m  
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
                       A              E/G#      F#m
And we can do so many great things together, together


[Bridge]
A            E/G#        F#m            E
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back
A           E/G#        F#m        E
Down, whoa, Sisyphus it rolls back down
A            E/G#        F#m            E
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back
A           E/G#        F#m        E
Down, whoa, Sisyphus it rolls back down


[Chorus 3]
           E     B/D#      C#m
We got the wind in our sail,  like Darwin on the Beagle
A             E/G#               F#m
  Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
   B       E           B/D#                   C#m  
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
                       A              E/G#      F#m
And we can do so many great things together, together
E  B/D#  C#m  
A  E/G#  F#m


[Outro]
E            B/D#        C#m
  We got the wind in our sail (we got the wind in our sail)
A  E/G#  F#m  E
