gethsemane again Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In[C][G][C][G][C][G][C]
[G]Gloucester Cathedral,
on [C]Saturday [G]night
I came to [Bm]your flower show,
[Am]blown like a [G]kite
And I [Em]stood by [Am]the tombstones,
[D]and gazed [G]at the lights
On the [Em]altar[Am][Em]
And the [C]horse- faced old [G]ladies
and [D]tweedy- toned [Em]men
Of [C]county soci[G]ety they
[D]came and [Em]they went
With [C]pamphlets [G]and leaflets
[D]of Christian [Em]events
For the fall
[D]

[Verse 2]
But ain't [G]it all [D]just like Je[C]sus[Am]
Crying in [D]the rain?
Ain't it [G]all [D]just [C]Geth
[Am]semane again?
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[G][D]
[C]Oh [G]the half- a- crown programmes
on [C]sale at [G]the door
Were clutched in [Bm]the teeth
of the [Am]rich and the [G]poor
As [Em]they swayed in an un[Am]dertone
[D]conscience- free
[G]Forward to[Em]gether[Am][Em]
And the [C]outstretching [G]hands
of the [D]swains of [Em]the Lord
[C]Sold the com[G]muning com
[D]muters the [Em]word
[C]With [G]LPs of Mary and [D]photos [Em]of God
In the hall
[D]

[Verse 4]
But ain't [G]it all [D]just like Je[C]sus[Am]
Crying in [D]the rain?
Ain't [G]it all [D]just [C]Gethsemane
[Am]again?
[Em]

[Verse 5]
[G][D]
Oh [G]the flowers hushed the air
as the [C]columns advanced
[G]To the clinking of coi[Bm]ns
[Am]in a ritual [G]dance
On [Em]flagstones that [Am]ached for
a [D]chance of [G]a chance
Of [Em]escap[Am]ing[Em]
And the [C]mystical [G]statues looked
[D]down so de[Em]pressed
At the [C]endless pos[G]sessors
be[D]coming pos[Em]sessed
And the [C]costumed con[G]fessors
[D]who never con[Em]fessed
To the wall
[D]

[Verse 6]
But ain't [G]it all [D]just like Je[C]sus[Am]
Crying in [D]the rain?
Ain't [G]it all [D]just [C]Gethse[Am]mane again?
[Em]

[Verse 7]
[G][D]
Oh I [G]saw a blue hair- rinse,
I [C]saw a black [G]tooth
I saw a false [Bm]face
[Am]in a telephone [G]booth
And [Em]the stark white- faced [Am]roses
[D]that screamed out [G]the truth
Of their [Em]dying[Am][Em]
[C]And a wal[G]rus's dreams
and a car[D]penter's [Em]love
[C]Absorbed lik[G]e a hand in
[D]a great rubber [Em]glove
And [C]flown like [G]a flag over bat[D]tlefields
[Em]Factories and all[D]

[Verse 8]
Ain't [G]it all [D]just like Je[C]sus[Am]
Crying in [D]the rain?
Ain't it [G]all [D]just [C]Gethse[Am]mane again?
[Em]

[Verse 9]
[G][D]
[C]Oh I dod[G]ged the collection box
[C]cho[G]irboy and out
To the streets where the [Bm]wind shook
my [Am]hair with [G]a shout
And the [Em]dusty- faced dais
[Am]ies [D]were blowing a[G]bout
So [Em]freely[Am][Em]
And [C]Christ in the ru[G]ins was
[D]wandering [Em]again
As he [C]walked with the beg[G]gars
and [D]talked to the [Em]lame
And [C]danced with the chil[G]dren
and [D]sailors [Em]who came
At his call
[D]

[Verse 10]
But ain't [G]it all [D]just like Je[C]sus[Am]
Crying in [D]the rain?
Ain't it [G]all [D]just [C]Gethsemane
[Am]again?
[Em]

[Verse 11]
[D]
Ain't [G]it all [D]just like Je[C]sus[Am]
Crying in the [D]rain?
Ain't [G]it all [D]just [C]like [Am]Nazareth [E]again?
