Intro:
G G


Verse:
C
Lo, and lo!
         G
There aren’t queens, ho!
            C
There are streets you paint with gold
     G               C
And dreams told of?pearl
            C
Stung?with lanterns bright
                              G
With?promise since earned by day
  C
Spurned to?fright
           C
Tuned to phantoms a-flail and scorched into sky

Chorus:
G                        C
Forgive, forgive what’s kind
        C
Make believe, make believe
                                           G
Poppies make ‘em sleep like a witch dooms mine
      C                                 G
Make believe, make believe midnight’s chime


Verse 2:
             G          C
‘Cause they closed the cantina
N.C.
They closed the cardinal rouge
G                  C
They drove ‘ol Angelina
N.C.
Shuttered her with dread
     C                   G
Oh, hearth, hearth of a great war
      C
Your first chance fills my hand
                G
Penultimate and vast


Interlude:
G G


Verse 3:
C                        G
Say it so, there aren’t queens, lo!
         C
By what means though shall we reign
         G                C
‘Gainst pitched black and Union Jack
      C
Your gods aren’t coming back
N.C.
The owl’s in the knave
N.C.
Ghost-cinders, tinder-safe


Chorus:
G            C
Forgive, forgive what’s asked
        C
Make believe, make believe
                                           G
Poppies make ‘em sleep like a witch churns ash
       C
Make believe, make believe
             G
My loom and lash
        C
Make believe, make believe
             G
My loom and lash
