G1 G2 F1 F2 Em9 D1 D2 RIFF 2 TIMES
And what will happen in the morning when the world D1 D2 RIFF It gets so crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning
And what will happen in the evening in the forest
With the weasel with the teeth that bite so sharp D1 D2 RIFF When you're not looking in the evening
But all the friends that you once knew are left behind
They kept you so safe and so secure amongst the books D1 D2 RIFF And all the records of your lifetime
What will happen, in the morning, when the world it gets so crowded D1 D2 RIFF 2 TIMES That you can't look out the window in the morning?

CHORUS #2: And now take a little while to find your way in here Now take a little while to make your story clear And now that you're lifting your feet from the ground Weigh up your anchor and have a look round

NOTE: I use DADGDF# chord names even though the song is in CGCFCE because I'm more familiar with DADGDF# names. It's hard to know what's going on with all the horns on the record, but this is the general gist. I'm not totally clear on everything. G2 and F2 are especially iffy chords. (from Bryter Layter, 1970)
