E MajorE F#F# x3


[Verse 1]
    E MajorE     F#F#    BB
'Cause you were always unnoticed
E MajorE     F#F#          BB
You were always the flame that dies,
E MajorE        F#F#           BB
Bastard with a flat-top singing, "The Cloud of Unknowing",
E MajorE        F#F#           BB
Bastard with a flat-top singing, "The flame, oh never ne-ne-ne-ne-never dies."
    E MajorE     F#F#    BB
'Cause you were always unfocused,
E MajorE        F#F#            BB
Jinxing the photograph with pain in your eyes.
E MajorE        F#F#            BB
Bastard with a flat-top singing, "I will wait for your love, I shall wait for your love all days."
E MajorE        F#F#            BB
Bastard with a casket singing, "I shan't wait for her love, I shan't wait for her love."

[Chorus]
    E MajorE     F#F#
'Cause you were always:
  C#C#
A augmentedA saint, a flower in a glove, a night made for the raising of your glass,
              BB
The night's going to be a foolin' and a foolin', and still: Judith ain't sure,
BB C#C# D#D# C#C#
To-il aw-ay, pray in the sand, gross out your heart,
           BB
The night's gonna be made for the la-la-la, but still: Judith ain't sure.


[Verse 2]
E MajorE     F#F#   BB
You were always unloading,
E MajorE       F#F#             BB
Soft on the weight of your palm and your hand.
E MajorE        F#F#           BB
Bastard with a passport to the old destinations,
E MajorE       F#F#            BB
Bastard with a map of the palm of your hand.
E MajorE     F#F#        BB
You were always: "Shut him out."
E MajorE     F#F#         BB
You were always: "Shut, shut him out."
E MajorE     F#F#        BB
You were always: "Shut him out."
E MajorE     F#F#        BB
You were always: "Shut him out."

[Chorus]
E MajorE     F#F#
You were always:
C#C#
Sun, Dash of White Light, a night that has passed,
           BB
Has passed into the records of all that the little record keepers fear,
BB  C#C# D#D# C#C#
Dear Mary-Anne, Bastard of Light, I swept your flax bang,
          BB
I swept into the currents of the river, of the river where Judith ain't sure.
E MajorE     F#F#
You were always man, oh!

[Bridge]
         F#F#
Oh Man, and it's you, oh it's you:

'Cause the river is bad, the river is cold.

[Outro]
C#C#
Put your hand on my face, row away from the grief-stricken man,
Put your trust in my fate, I shall track that abrasive wasteland:
    BbmBbm
We are richer in love, richer in love, richer in love but you know:
        C#C#
You just can't have it. Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Man oh no no no no
    BbmBbm
We are richer in love, we are richer in love, we are richer in love but you know:
        C#C#
You just can't have it. Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

BB

till the end!
