[Intro 1]
[G][Ab][Eb][Cm][Ab][G]

[Verse 1]
This is a [G]song,
[Cm]not like the other ones,[Bb]
Secret and [Cm]selfish and
somewhat hol[G]low.
In the middle of this [Cm]song
there seemed to grown another
[Bb]Of indeterminate l[Cm]ength an[G]d origin.
To [Bb]populate a people's song,
[Ebm]first you must [Abm]do something wrong,
[Ab]If you've never been infirm
you can never [G]be strong.
Prune your rose [Gm]bushes, [Cm]Glenn
Or you'll [Dsus4]never see your home
[D]again.[Dsus4][G]

[Verse 2]
Country [G]and city,
[Cm]kingdom of the well, of the unwell,
[Bb]You dwell in them [Cm]both like a ghost -
When [G]old King George said
to my long dead kin
[Cm]"Ten summers and winters
in Arthur will do you in[Bb]"
He cut out [Cm]his heart and he buried
the sin there in [G]England.

[Verse 3]
Prune [G]your rose bushes [Cm]Glenn
Oh [Dsus4]they'll grow u[G]p again,
There may still be a [C]next year, who [Dsus4]knows?
If you're [G]lonely take a [Cm]drink,
There are [Dsus4]better things to th[G]ink,
Think on ancient cities, [C]sunsets and [Dsus4]girls in Spring.

[Interlude 1]
[Dsus4][G]

[Cm][G][Cm][G]

[Verse 4]
[Ab]You [Eb]needed a[Cm] son[Ab]g,[G]
[Ab]I needed one t[Eb]oo,
So keep [Cm]listening
For my offer to [Ab]you
Take it with good grace and hu[Cm]mour [G]too

[Verse 5]
First came the [G]golden age
[Cm]When there was no need of proof,
When [Bb]lions ate flowers
And [Cm]your house didn't need [G]a roof.
Then came the silver [Cm]days
When a boy saw himself for the first time
[Bb]In the reflection of a bla[Cm]de
Then he saw the way
[Gm]To populate a people's s[Bb]ong.
[Ebm]First he must do someth[Abm]ing wrong.
If you've [Ab]never heard the [Gm]music
[Eb]you [Ebm]never[Abm][Ab][G]

[Verse 6]
will
[G]
Prune your rose bushes [Cm]Glenn
So they'll [Dsus4]soon grow up a[G]gain,
There may still be a [C]next year,
who [D]knows?[Dsus4]
If [G]you're lonely, take a [Cm]drink,
There are [Dsus4]better things to th[G]ink
Think on ancient cities,
[C]sunsets and [Dsus4]girls in Spring.
Because all [G]the tears that you [Cm]mend,
They will [Dsus4]open up agai[G]n.
And [Gm]weren't you [Bb]suppose to call
your [Eb]friends this evening?

[Interlude 2]
[G]

[Verse 7]
[G]It rained [C]all night the day I left.
The [Dsus4]weather i[G]t was fine[C],
It [G]rained [D]all night the day [Dsus4]I left
