[Intro 1]
[Em][G][F#m][A][Am][Em][G]
[F#m][A][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
Are we [G]still on the [F#m]phone[A][Am][Em]
With the [G]lady Anna [F#m]Clarke
And her [Am]trumpet so[Em]lo
Whose [G]ghost sings for
[F#m]pay[A][B][Am][Em]
In the blue [G]billiard [F#m]room o[D]f
[F#m]the Mo[Am]nter[Em]rey
For [G]room and for [F#m]board
[A][B][Am][Em]
And the [G]backdoor key [F#m]is a
19th century [Am]civil [Em]war sword
Once [G]owned by [F#m]John
[Am]Booth[A][Am][Em]
Who mis[G]placed his [F#m]script
When he [Am]caught his leather [Em]boot

[Verse 2]
And [Em]this could be [G]the
[C]shining [Am]hour[Em]
Based on all [G]those [C]mad be[Am]liefs
[Em]In money, oil and ange[C]l powd[Am]er[Em]
In the new age [C]magazine[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][Em][G]
[D][Am][Em][G][F#m][D][Am][Em]

[Verse 3]
There's a [G]hole in the [F#m]wall
[A][Am][Em]
Behind [G]the photograph of [F#m]Al Capone
He's a sit[A]tin' [B]down [Am]at city [Em]hall
The po[G]lice they peek through
[F#m]here[A][B][Em]
And they [G]watch you get [F#m]dressed
In [Am]the two-way mirror
[A]mir[Am] ror[Em]
But its [G]all in good [D]spirit
[Am]s[A][Am][Em]
And if you [G]close your eyes
Ya cant [F#m]help
[Am]Help
But to hear 'em [Em]move

[Verse 4]
And [Em]this [G]could be the [C]shining
[Am]hour[Em]
Based on all those [C]mad be[Am]liefs
[Em]In money[G], oil and ange[C]l powd[Am]er[Em]
In [G]the new age [C]magazine[Am]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Am][G][F#m][Am][Em][G]
[D][F#m][A][Em][G][F#m][Am][Em]
[G][Em][F#m][Am][Em]

[Verse 5]
I [G]propose a [F#m]toast[Am][Em]
To the memory of [G]the [D]horse
[F#m]Who ca[A]rried [Am]King Tut
And [Em]his gold
[G]Into the [D]sun[F#m][A][Am][Em]
He collapsed [G]last summer
From a [D]heat stroke
Some[F#m]where in [Am]the East Village
[Em]Oh it ki[G]lls me t[Em]o
[F#m]think[A][Am][Em]
That I'm [G]no longer liv[F#m]ing
[Em]Just [Am]looking for excuses [Em]to drink
So lift [G]up your [F#m]glass[B][A][B][Em]
And you [G]Ouija board
'Cause I'm [F#m]fading, fading
[Am]Fading [Em]fast

[Verse 6]
And [Em]this could be the
[C]shining [Am]hour[Em]
Based on all those [C]mad be[Am]lief [Em]s
In money, oil and [C]angel [Em]powder
In the new age [C]magazine[Am]
