Passion Play Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am]
[D][Bm][Am][D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]She
came from Dakota
Though some say she hailed
from [Am]the South
[C]He tried to believe but each
[D]time she would leave
With the venom that dripped
from [G]her mouth
Like some [C]angel of old
Bent on saving the soul
[Am]Drugged to the knees he would [D]pray
To some [Am]rude Russian icon
That twined like a python
And [C]blinded the sun, night, and [D]day
He'd say

[Verse 2]
[C]Please [Am]bring[C] me peac[C#dim]e[A]
You say [G]you'll stay
Just [E]to leave me [A]whole
All of my [D]soul your [G]passion play

[Verse 3]
[G]
Though she lies to amuse
She lies to confuse
Passion with vision and [Am]pain
[C]He lies for possession and time
[D]Though there's no time to [G]gain
[C]Squandering feeling
Constantly stealing away
[Am]From the sound of her [D]name
Is like [A]thunder and lightning
Hiding the sound of the [D]rain

[Interlude 1]
And he'd say
[C][Am][A]
[C#dim][A][D][G][E][A]

[Verse 4]
[CHOR[D]US]

[Verse 5]
[G]So[Am]
[D]
he [G]searches for truth
In the beauty that once
[Am]was her name
[C]Senselessly trusting in [D]time to remind her
[G]Blind, she came
Sud[C]denly rootless
Fashionably useless
[Am]Magically fruitless and [D]time
Like [Am]some Sunday scholar
Who lives off the squalor
Of [C]yesterday's knowledge and [D]fame

[Interlude 2]
And he'd say
[C][Am][C][C#dim][A]
[Em][D][G][D][E][A][D][G]

[Verse 6]
[CHORUS] [G]Well some
overdose
And some wrap like a rose
'Round the slick perfumed nose
Of high [Am]noon
[C]Burning their lips
As [D]they stoop low to kiss
Some rich man's excuse for [G]the moon
I [C]must have been lucky - -
Got out with my body in[Am]tact
And tomorrow [D]in tune
But it's [Am]this sense of time
That wraps like [C]a vine
'Round the neck of the sun [D]and [C]the[Am]
[C][C#dim][A][G][D][E][A]
[D]moon

[Outro 1]
[CHORUS]
[G][C][Am][C]
[C#dim][A][G][E][A]
[D][G]
