[verse]

Em              A  Am           G    D/F#
  the old churchyard is where I faded
Em               A  Fmaj7       G    D/F#
  she watched me while I fell unaided
Em          G               C             A7
  and in my time when god's army came and got me

[chorus]

    Em        D/F#    G    A
  i could not find my honeycomb
    Em        D/F#    G    A
  i could not find my honeycomb
    Em        D/F#    G    A    Em  A7
  i could not find my honeycomb

[verse]

Em       A  Am         G    D/F#
  cherry brown lips of maple
Em       A  Fmaj7           G        D/F#
  olive creams her eyes and face were
Em            G         C           A7
  and in that town as i walk as a deserter

[chorus]

    Em        D/F#    G    A
  i could not find my honeycomb
    Em        D/F#    G    A
  i could not find my honeycomb
    Em        D/F#    G    A    Em  A7
  i could not find my honeycomb

[verse]
Em          A Am           G     D/F#
  dance for god, dance for mating
Em           A Fmaj7        G      D/F#
  the ritual of  her figure eighting
Em          G         C             A7
  and in my mind as i fly above the churchyard


[chorus]

 2nd time, jump to ending at the  Em  A7 part

I like playing the intro A barre chord like this as well:
x02225

Not positive that A9aug5 is actually called that. And I'm not
fully convinced about the D/F# chord. Any suggestions, let me
know.
