Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][D][G]
[C][D][G]
[C][D][Em][C]
[C][D][G]

[Chorus 1]
[G]A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetery [C]gates
Keats and [D]Yeats are on [Em]your [Bm]side[C]
[G]A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetery [C]gates
Keats and [D]Yeats are on [Em]your [Bm]side[C]
While [D]Wilde is [G]on mine

[Verse 1]
[G]So we go inside
and we gravely read the [C]stones
All those people all [D]those lives
Where are [Em]they [Bm]now?[C]
With the [G]loves and hates
And passions just like [C]mine
They were born
And then they [D]lived
and then they [Em]died[Bm][C]
Seems so [D]unfair, I want to [G]cry
You say "Ere [Bm]thrice the sun
done [G]salutation to the dawn"
And you [Bm]claim these words as your [G]own
But [C]I've read well, and I've [D]heard them said
A hundred [Em]times, maybe less, maybe [F]more

[Verse 2]
If you [G]must write prose and poems
The words you use should be [C]your own
Don't plagiarize [D]or take [Em]on lo[Bm]ans[C]
There's always [G]someone, somewhere
With a big nose, [C]who knows
And who trips you up
[D]and laughs when you [Em]fall[Bm][C]
Who'll trip you up and [D]laugh
When you [G]fall
You say "Ere [Bm]long done do [G]does did"
[Bm]Words which could only be your [G]own
And [C]then produce the text
From [D]whence was ripped
some dizzy [Em]whore
Eighteen hundred and [F]four

[Chorus 2]
A dreaded [G]sunny day
So let's go where we're happy
And I meet you at the cemetery [C]gates
Oh, Keats and [D]Yeats are on [Em]your [Bm]side[C]
A dreaded [G]sunny day
So let's go where we're wanted
And I meet you at the cemetery [C]gates
Keats and [D]Yeats are on [Em]your [Bm]side
But [C]you lose
'Cause whale blubber [D]Wilde is [G]on mine

[Outro 1]
[C][D][G]
[C][D][G]
[C][D][G]
[C][D][G]
[Repeat and fade]
