Chords with lyrics

C majorC

C minorCm
I have to say
Bb majorBb     C minorCm
I have to see
The twilight moonlit
        Bb majorBb
The houses on hills
          FF
All appear so blind
    G+G C minorCm
At night

The webs that bind them
Bb majorBb   C minorCm
To the skies

Are golden, sparkling
         Bb majorBb
With blood and dust

The angelic motes
        FF
On beams of blood
      G+G   Abmaj
Dance at night
          Bb majorBb    C minorCm
The trees turn under the rain
              Bb majorBb  FF G+G
Pan lies dead from rut to rot
 C minorCm          Bb majorBb C minorCm
I saw the lighthouses all fall
            Bb majorBb
Small angels hold parasols

And point to other skies
   FF       G+G
The clacking on the fence
       Abmaj7Abmaj7
Is long and loud

The noise of the fingers
Bb majorBb     C minorCm
Crack in my head

Behind my eyes
       Bb majorBb
Between the bloodwalls
               FF
That line the streets and the skulls
  G+G   Abmaj7Abmaj7
Forever

The bonewhite temple
    Bb majorBb   C minorCm
Letters piling up
                 Bb majorBb
Unanswered stars yawning together
                FF
You may have this gift from me
       G+G       Abmaj7Abmaj7
And I will send you nothing

From what I see
   Bb majorBb   C minorCm
(And I see all)

The green is going
         Bb majorBb
Black peter arises
                FF
With his sack chock full of tricks
        G+G     Abmaj7Abmaj7
(And none of them eternal)

Black peter arises
     Bb majorBb     C minorCm
With his bag of blood
            Bb majorBb
(And none of this runs eternal)

Black peter arises
     FF
And he smiles
    G+G      Abmaj7Abmaj7
White teeth cap over the blackened stumps

Bb majorBb    C minorCm
All the kings of all particular times

   Bb majorBb
Have passed away

And lie in gutters
FF     G+G  Abmaj7Abmaj7
Pretty as pink
            Bb majorBb C minorCm
I thought that I had seen

Some bright new dawn
       Bb majorBb
The children all laid down and smiled
   FF        G+G        Abmaj7Abmaj7
The fires no longer smold and dullied

I watched the trash
    Bb majorBb     C minorCm
That covered this world

Swimming in farces
         Bb majorBb
In mud and in blood
             FF  G+G  Abmaj7Abmaj7
Without a care in the world
              Bb majorBb    C minorCm
The corpses are piled up almost to heaven

Chuckling or smiling
          Bb majorBb
And rubbing their hands
            FF   G+G  Abmaj7Abmaj7
Without a care in the world
          Bb majorBb      C minorCm
And so we all lie dozing under the sun
                 Bb majorBb
Images of banality flick past our eyes
           FF
As we bask in this paradise
        G+G  Abmaj7Abmaj7
Littered around us
          Bb majorBb    C minorCm
Books of religion covering my feet
                Bb majorBb  FF  G+G C minorCm
And I haven't the time for a word
              Bb majorBb     C minorCm
But still I see cottages covered in honeysuckle
                       Bb majorBb
The dovecots so full of the Birds in their thousands
                      FF
The cats lap at cream in their pussyland dream
      G+G          Abmaj7Abmaj7
And they haven't a care in the world

And then it shines
  Bb majorBb   C minorCm
We're all dust
                    Bb majorBb
I drop the compasss and point out the pole

And then it shines
      FF  G+G   C minorCm
We're all dust
          Bb majorBb    C minorCm
So wait for me at niemandswasser
             Bb majorBb
As I watch the flowers bloom
                  FF
And trail the horseflies as they scream
    G+G        Abmaj7Abmaj7
The songs we'll never know:

It shines
    Bb majorBb   C minorCm
That we're all dust

It shines
        Bb majorBb   FF  G+G
That we're all dust
      Abmaj7Abmaj7  Bb majorBb C minorCm Bb majorBb FF G+G C minorCm Bb majorBb C minorCm Bb majorBb FF G+G C minorCm Bb majorBb C minorCm Bb majorBb
We're all dust
