Miserere chords by The Cat Empire

Intro: Gm / Eb F / Bb F Bb F Gm F Bb F Bb F

                  Gm
Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
           Eb
show your face to the sky
     F                            Bb
on a night when the skies echo sounds
from inside of your mind
          F
on the stage that you shone
                 Bb        Gm     F
where the sun did become you
     Gm
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
         F
of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
        Bb                               F
your reflection in shadows and dreams?
                                          Bb      F
- your reflection in shadows and dreams

                    Gm
Did you ever see a man
who did walk down the street
Eb                  F
white robe with no shoes on his feet
        Bb
and on top of his head place a box with two slits
          F
and the sign from his neck said
'I do not exist'

Bb / F

      F
or a woman who could not remember her name
     Eb
did stutter and stutter
F
again and again
     Bb
and saw you and called you her son
her eyes said
     F
'my being is gone
but still I'm not dead'?

Bb / F

Have you ever seen a sound
have you listened to an image
have you ever touched a thought
have you ever tasted nothing
have you ever told a lie
that was true more than truth
because truth it had lied
all its life when it spoke to you?
And what did it say
it is that it is this
this goes here here is there
it is not yes it is
it was dulling your senses
your eyes they were bound
have you ever my friends
been looking around?

          G
And the other replies
with a wave of a hand
       Eb
I am already here
            F
in this promised land
     Bb
but not by a god and not by a king
     F
and not by a spirit
Bb                 F
deep from within
       Gm
I am here
because a miracle's a whim
         F
it's a flash of glory
it's an empty tin
     Eb
and maybe might lets you in

Bb F Bb
         F
not to save you
but to keep on looking-

Gm    Eb F
Oh miserere
      Bb
Miserere

Eb  F    Bb
Oh miserere
Eb    F
Miserere

Eb
Have you ever
         F
been so happy that you're sad?
           Bb
that the lights turn to stars
         Eb
and the stars become eyes
      F
and hellos are goodbyes
and the laughs are the sighs
and the show disappears with the note
             Eb
'until next time'

F          Bb
Long live living
     Eb           F
if living can be this

Do you ever look around
                            Bb
and find what is yet to be found?
