Gethsemane Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][Am][G][Asus4][A][Am][G][Asus4][A]
[Am][G][A]

[Verse 1]
Among the headstones [Asus4]you played
as [A]boys
Crypts and tombs like a room
[Asus4]ful of to[A]ys
Just up the river from the smoke
[Asus4]and the n[A]oise
[Am]Gethsemane[G][A]
And there’s war-whoops [Am]and
[G]secret [A]signs in the trees
Estuary smell[Am]s coming
[A]up [G]on the [Asus4]breeze[A]
O perfect end[Am]less days like [Asus4]these[A][Am]
[G]O G[Asus4]ethsemane[A][Am][G][A]

[Verse 2]
[F]Sailboat on [G]the
Cadie, pushbike on the quay
In your [Am]eyes there’s fire,
in your [F]hand destiny
[C]‘O be something,
[F]be [Am]something [A]fin[Am]e!’[D][Am]

[Verse 3]
[D]Just[Am][A]
[Am][A][G][A]
[Am]down[A] the river,
into [G]the [Asus4]noise and[A] the smoke
Being daring with the staring,
[Asus4]uncaring [A]folk
Who laugh with you, laugh [Am]at y[G]ou,
[Asus4]you’ll never get [A]the joke
[Asus4]Gethsemane[A][Am][G][A]
And they broke your spirit
[Am]ther[G]e in the marines[Asus4]
[A]Flushed your head down
[Am]in t[Asus4]he latrines[G]
[A]Frozen in your sacrement,
[Am]de r[G]ailed in your teens
[Asus4]Never saw[A] the enemy
[Am][G][Asus4][A][G][A]

[Verse 4]
[F]And those bosses betrayed,
[G]soon let you go
[Am]The fire in your [A]eyes,
[F]how could they know
[C]‘O be something, [F]be [Am]something[A][Am][D]
[Am][D][A]
[Am][A][Am]
[A][Am][A][Am][A]
[Am]fine[G]!’[Asus4][A]

[Verse 5]
Now you’ve got your own [G]boys,
hell [Asus4]bent for [A]leather
Dead before [Asus4]they’re 18, or
bitter old men [A]forever
They never saw the halo
[Am]moon rise [A]over the river
Of [Am]Gethsemane[G][A]
Now there’s a pain in your
[Asus4]head puts lead in your shoes
[A]Better get it seen to,[Am]
it’s going to be [Asus4]bad news[A]
How did the perfect [Am]world [G]get
[Asus4]so confused[A][Am][G][Asus4]
[A]O G[Am]ethsemane[G][Asus4][A]

[Verse 6]
[F]Who sucked out the freedom,
days [G]without end
[A]Under the weight of [Am]it all[F]
you must bend
[C]‘O be something, [F]be something fine!’
