[Verse 1]
D A/D Bm
A boy and a girl, albatross around their necks
F#m Em
Hands burning from the rope, ships stranded in the tropics
A D A/D Bm
Acidification wiped out the tiger shark
F#m Em
Let's try to save their souls, and trust the man with the Torah
[Chorus 1]
D A/D Bm
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
G G/F# Em
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
A D A/D Bm
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
G G/F# Em
And we can do so many great things together, together

Cumulonimbus in the sky, this is what we've waited for
A D A/D
And now there's no more hyperventilating in wheelchairs
Bm
We're gonna save the last dog on Funk Islands
F#m Em
We're had to do it wrong before we could do it right
[Chorus 2]
D A/D Bm
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
G G/F# Em
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
A D A/D Bm
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
G G/F# Em
And we can do so many great things together, together
[Bridge]
G G/F# Em D
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back
G G/F# Em D
Down, whoa, Sisyphus it rolls back down
G G/F# Em D
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back
G G/F# Em D
Down, whoa, Sisyphus it rolls back down
[Chorus 3]
D A/D Bm
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
