Adagio (Composed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Wow,[D] I'm sick of doubt[C]
Live in the light of certain South
Cruel [B]bindings
The servants [Am]have the power
Dog- men and their mean women
[Bbdim]Pulling poor blankets over
[B]our sailors

[Verse 2]
[Em]I'm sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the TV [D]tower[C]
I [B]want roses in my garden bower

[Verse 3]
Dig?
[B]Royal ba[Am]bies, rubies
Must now replace abor[Bbdim]ted stranger
[D#]s in[Gdim] the mud[B]
These mutants, blood- meal for the
[Em]plant that's plowed

[Interlude 1]
[Em][B][Em]
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[D]They are waiting to take us into
the severed [G]garden
Do you know how pale
[C]and wanton thrillful
Comes death on a strange hour
[F]Unannounced, unplanned for

[Verse 5]
Like [G]a scaring over- friendly
Guest you've [Am]brought to bed[B]
Death makes angels of us all
And gives us wings
Where we had shoulders
Smooth as [Em]raven's claws
[B]

[Verse 6]
[G#dim]
No more money, no more [E]fancy dress
[Am]This other [F]kingdom seems by far the best
Until [G]its other jaw [Em]reveals [G]incest
And [F]loose obedience to a vegetable law

[Verse 7]
[Em]I will not go
Prefer [B]a Feast of Friends
To the Giant Family
[Em]
