Suggestions and corrections welcome!

E F# x3


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

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


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


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

[Bridge]
                  F#
Oh Man, and it's you, oh it's you:
    Bbm                      F              B
And did you ever ever ever think of a bad idea? Oh man, oh no no no no no no no
             F#
Oh man, it's you,
    Bbm            F              B
Oh, did you ever think of a bad idea? Ooh nonononono no oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

            C#
'Cause the river is bad, the river is cold.
      B
The river is bad, the river is cold.
     C#
The river is bad, the river is cold.

B
How was the King, was he sad, was he cold?  x8
     C#
The river is bad, the river is cold.        x4

C#


[Outro]
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:
        Bbm
We are richer in love, richer in love, richer in love but you know: 
                C#
You just can't have it. Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Man oh no no no no
        Bbm
We are richer in love, we are richer in love, we are richer in love but you know:
                C#
You just can't have it. Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

B

till the end!
