Title: This Carnival Is Dead And Gone
A minorAm
A minorAm
Dear sir dear lady
G+G E minorEm
This carnival is dead and gone
A minorAm G+G B minorBm A minorAm
And never anyway alas this party never yet began
The chairs and tables dust of dust
G+G E minorEm A minorAm
Yes verydust of veryrust of verymust and farewelltrust
G+G B minorBm A minorAm
I thought I saw you in the crowd dear heart
G+G E minorEm
You turned away from me and then you dissolved into light
A minorAm B minorBm
The broken lights and faded buntings
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7
Call to us all the inmost light
G+G
And don't glare wide your eyes in wonder
E minorEm Fmaj7Fmaj7
They will flick back inside your mind
G+G
And on the bonescreen of your skull
B minorBm A minorAm
They watch no musical salutes
G+G E minorEm A minorAm
So thoroughly modern now we are
But the last reel of all time
G+G A minorAm
The inmost night
Its frames are glared and slow and out of focus
G+G E minorEm A minorAm
Valentino Vallee Moss all dead!
The inmost night
G+G B minorBm A minorAm
And the little bells go tinkle
And your eyes begin to twinkle
G+G E minorEm
And the joints and sinews crack
A minorAm G+G
It's the expansion of your mind death
Death
Death
Death
Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm
The inmost night
G+G E minorEm A minorAm
The cat's face glares from shiny card
The deadcat from my past
G+G B minorBm A minorAm
You tumble you froth and fun forever
Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm
An orchestra from another time
G+G E minorEm
Another world all dead
A minorAm G+G B minorBm A minorAm
The churchbells silent the rainstained glass of God is smashed
And you take your choice you sup with the devil
G+G E minorEm
You choke on your pride for ever and ever
Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G B minorBm A minorAm
My memory of my inmost light it tumbles froth and fun forever
G+G
Vulvaic memories imagined of my would-be-life
E minorEm
Well that won't be
A minorAm
And that won't be
And that won't be
G+G B minorBm
And that won't be
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And for my troubles and my pain
G+G E minorEm
And for the losses and the wains
A minorAm
I get a picture in my mind
G+G B minorBm A minorAm
The slyly smily smiling kiss
G+G
Of your sweet heart and face
E minorEm A minorAm
And your legs in some final benediction
G+G
Your inmost warmheart says ta-ra
B minorBm A minorAm
And I wished to die inside of you
G+G E minorEm
And push up into your heart so violently that
A minorAm G+G
Face to face with matrix creatrix am
B minorBm A minorAm
The inmost light
The inmost night
A augmentedA last tip:
Intead of playing B minorBm Am, you can also play B minorBm A minorAm G+G A minorAm instead (all with short strums of course).
