Masculine Eclipse chords by The Beautiful South

Chords with lyrics

I guess it's in C majorC but the accompaniment sounds great on a G-harp. Try it out.


      C majorC          E minorEm
That grand facade will finally diminish
          C majorC          E minorEm
When he breaks your heart from start to finish
A minorAm            D MajorD
Sisters dream of isles in paradise
   C majorC                    E minorEm
That ain't no use when the captain's just capsized
   A minorAm               D MajorD
The smile that you now know, was a guise
C majorC                 E minorEm
Left his clever lips and stole the prize

  D MajorD              C majorC
So women, take a loser's good advice
D MajorD                  C majorC        E minorEm
Let your heart go floating out, but use the anchor twice
D MajorD               C majorC
Don't feel ever sorry for the dicks
   D MajorD                 C majorC   E minorEm
Just grab that dice and hope you roll a six, a six

That grand facade will finally diminish        (Follow established chord pattern)
When he breaks your heart from start to finish
Sisters dream of isles in paradise
That ain't no use when the captain's just capsized
The happiness you now know, was a guise
Left his clever lips and stole the prize

So women, take a loser's good advice
Let your heart go floating out, but use the anchor twice
Don't feel ever sorry for the dicks
Just grab that dice and hope you roll a six, a six

Bridge:
    A minorAm         E minorEm            C majorC    E minorEm
So as nature gave out semen to the jealous and the sick
A minorAm          E minorEm            C majorC     E minorEm
Jesus gave out candles to the dim or partially lit
  A minorAm            E minorEm           C majorC    E minorEm
And woman, you're a lighthouse, while the candle only drips
A minorAm             E minorEm       C majorC     E minorEm
Girl, you are a shining star in masculine eclipse
        C majorC   E minorEm        C majorC     E minorEm
In masculine eclipse,  in masculine eclipse
        C majorC   E minorEm        C majorC
In masculine eclipse,  in masculine eclipse

Repeat Em, C majorC and end on A minorAm
