The Bewlay Brothers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][A]
[D][Em][A]

[Verse 1]
And so the [D]story goes they wore the clothes
They said the things to make it seem
[Em]impr[A]obable
The whale of a [D]lie like they hope it was
[Em]And [A]the good men[D] tomorrow,
had their feet in the wallow
And their [Em]heads of brawn were nicer shorn
And [A]how they bought their positions,
with [D]saccharin and trust
And the [Em]world was asleep to our [A]latent fuss
[D]Sig[Em]hing, the swirl through the streets
[A]Like the crust of the sun

[Chorus 1]
The [Bm]Bewlay Brothers
In our w[A]ings that bark
Flashing [G]teeth of brass
Standing [F#]tall in the dark
Oh, and we were [A]gone
Hanging out with your d[G]warf men
We were so turned [Em]on
By your lack of con[C]clusions
[D][Em][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]I was stone and he was wax,
so he could scream and still relax
[Em]Unbe[A]lievable
And we frightened the [D]small children away
[Em][A]
And our [D]talk was old and dust would flow
Through our veins and Lo! It was midnight
[Em]back at the kitchen [A]door
Like the grim face on the ca t[D]hedral floor
[Em]The solid book we wrote,
[A]cannot be found [D]today
And [Em]it was stalking time for the M[A]oonboys

[Chorus 2]
The Bewlay Bro[Bm]thers
With our [A]backs on the arch
And if the [G]Devil may be here
But he can't [F#]sing about that
Oh, and we were [A]gone
Real cool [G]traders
We were so turned [Em]on
You thought we were [C]fakers
[D][Em][A]

[Verse 3]
And now the [D]dress is hung, the ticket pawned
The factor max that proved the fact
is [Em]melted down
[A]Woven on the edging of my [D]pillow[Em][A]
And my [D]brother lays upon the rocks
He could be dead, he could be not,
he [Em]could be you
He's Cha[A]meleon, Comedian, Corinthian,
and [D]Caricature
[Em]Shooting up pie in the sky[A]
Bew[D]lay Brothers, in the f[Em]eeble, in the [A]bad

[Chorus 3]
Bewlay [Bm]Brothers
In the [A]blessed and cold
In the [G]crutch-hungry dark
Was where we [F#]flayed our mark
Oh, and we were [A]gone
Kings of Obli[G]vion
We were so turned [Em]on
In the night walk pa[C]vilion

[Bridge 1]
[Bm]Lay me place and b[C]ake me pie,
I'm [F]starving for me [Bm]gravy
[Bm]Leave my shoes and [C]door unlocked,
I [F]might just slip a[Bm]way, hey!
Just for the [F]day, hey!
Please come a[Bm]way, hey!
Just for the [F]day, hey!
Please come a[Bm]way

[Outro 1]
Please come a[F]way
Just for the [Bm]day
Please come a[F]way
Please come a[Bm]way
Please come a[F]way
Please come a[Bm]way
A[F]way
A[Bm]way
[Repeat and fade]
