The Foot of Our Stairs Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]We sleep by the ever- bright
hole in [D]the door,
[C]Eat in [Bb]the corner,
[C]talk to [Bb]the floor,[Em]
Cheating the spiders who come to say [D]"Please",
[G][C]
[Bb](politely).
They [C]bend at the [Bb]knees.[Em]
Well, I'll [Bm]go to the foot
[C]of our [Bb]stair[F]s.
[C]Old gen[Em]tlemen [D]talk of
[Em]when they were [D]young
[C]Of [Bb]ladies lost and erring [Bm]sons.[Em]
[Bm]Lace- [Em]covered dan[D]dies [Em]revel
[D](wi[Em]thfriends)
[C]Pure as the [Bb]truth, tied at [C]both [Bb]ends.
[Bm]Well I'll go t[Em]o the foot of ou[C]r stai[Bb]r s.[C]
[F]Sce[Em]nted cathedral[D] spi[Em]re
pointed [D]down.
[Em]We pray [Gm]for [Bb]souls in Kentish Town.
[Em]A delicate hus[D]h the go[Em]ds,
floating [D]by[Em]
[C]Wishing us [Bb]well, pie in the sky.
[Em]God of ages,[D] Lord [Em]of Time,[D]
[G]min[C]e is the rig[F]ht to [C]be wro[Bb]ng.[Em]
Well I'll go to the foot of our [Bb]stairs.
[C]Jac[F]k r[Em]abbit mis[D]
ter spawn a new [Bm]breed
Of [A]love- hungry pil[Bm]grims
[A](no bodies to [Bm]feed[F]).
Show me a good [Em]man and I'll
[F]show you the [Bm]door.
The [A]last hymn is [Bm]sun g and the d[A]evil c[D]ries "[Bm]More."[Em]

[D]
and that being [Bm]done,
I've [A]put in a re[Bm]quest to
[A]take up my [Bm]turn
In that [F]forsaken [Em]paradise that
[F]calls itself [Bm]"Hell"
Where [A]no- one has nothing and nothing
is well meaning fool,
[Bm]Pick up thy bed and rise up from your
[A]gloom smiling.
Give me your hate and
do as the loving heathen do.
