Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][Em][Bm]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
A [Bm]plague in the workhouse,
a plague on the poor
Now [Em]I'll beat on my drum
'til I'm dead
[Bm]Yesterday, a fever,
tomorrow, St. Peter
I'll beat [Em]on my drum until then.

[Verse 2]
But what [Bm]melody will lead
my lover from his [Em]bed?
What [Bm]melody will see
him in my arms again?
[Em]

[Verse 3]
Set [Bm]fire to foundation and burn
out the station
[Em]You'll never get nothing of mine
The [Bm]pane of my window will
flicker and billow
I won't [Em]leave a stitching behind
But what [Bm]melody

[Verse 4]
will lead my
lover from [Em]his bed?
What [Bm]melody will see him in my arms

[Interlude 1]
again?
[Em][Bm][Em]
[Bm][Em][Bm][D]

[Verse 5]
I'll [Am]sing of the wall[Em]s of the well and
the house at the top of [D]the hill
I'll [Am]sing of the [Em]bottles of wine that
we left on our old [D]windowsill
I'll [Am]sing of [Em]the years you will spend
getting sadder and older
[D]Oh love, and [Am]the cold, the oncoming cold

[Outro 1]

[D][Am][Em]
[D][Am][Em]
[D][Am][Em][D]
[Am][Em][D][Am]
