[Verse 1]
C              Fadd9
Jacob he loved Rachel
    G/B              E7
And Rachel she loved him
    Fadd9         C/E                Dm    Gsus4
And Leah was just there for dramatic effect
          C                  Fadd9
Well it's right there in the Bible
      E7            Am
So it must not be a sin
       F                      C/E         Gsus4  G
But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick


[Chorus]
        Fadd9         C/E
And her sky is just a petal
             Dm            C
Pressed in a book of a memory
       Fadd9              C/E                Gsus4  G
Of the time he thought he loved her and they kissed
        Fadd9                C/E
And her friends say, "He's a devil"
               Dm  C/E     Dm
But she says, "No, he is a dream"
F                    G       Gsus4   Fadd9    C
This is the world as best as I can remember it
Am             G/B       Fadd9
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah


[Verse 2]
    C             Fadd9
Now Jacob got two women
      G/B                 E7
And a whole house full of kids
       Fadd9                C/E      Dm         Gsus2  G
And he schemed his way back to the promised land
       C                       Fadd9
And he finds it's one thing to win 'em
      E7                    Am
It's another to keep 'em content
        F                C/E           Gsus4  G
When he knows that he is only just one man


[Chorus]
        Fadd9          C/E
And his sky's an empty bottle
              Dm              C
And when he's drunk the ocean dry
   Fadd9                  C/E              Gsus4  G
He sails off three sheets to some reckless wind
        Fadd9                  C/E
And his friends say, "Ain't it awful"
              Dm    C/E        Dm
And he says, "No, I think it's fine"
    F                    G       Gsus4   Fadd9    C
And this is the world as best as I can remember it
Am             G/B       Fadd9
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah


[Bridge]
             A#maj7          Fadd9
Now Rachel's weeping for the children
         Em
That she thought she could not bear
        F              D7/F#           G
And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hide
    A#maj7         Fadd9
She wishes she was with them
        Em
But she looks and they're not there
           Dm               C                  Gsus4     G
Seems love comes for just a moment and then it passes on by


[Chorus]
        Fadd9         C/E
And her sky is just a bandit
                Dm                 C
Swinging at the end of a hangman's noose
           Fadd9                     C/E             Gsus4  G
'Cause he stole the moon and must be made to pay for it
        Fadd9                    C/E
And her friends say, "My, that's tragic"
             Dm       C/E     Dm
She says, "Especially for the moon"
F                    G       Gsus4   Fadd9    C
This is the world as best as I can remember it
Dm                   G       Gsus4   Fadd9    C
This is the world as best as I can remember it
Dm                   G               Fadd9    C
This is the world as best as I can remember it
