Chords with lyrics

Tracy Grammer - Preston Miller


INTRO: Chord diagramA minorAm

                                         Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
He was born in Miller's mansion when the mistress was asleep
    Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramA minorAm
The secret son of the chambermaid and master
                                       Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramA minorAm
And they sent him into hiding, for his schooling and his keep
         Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramA minorAm
With the Carlyles and the other lucky bastards
Chord diagramA minorAm                                       Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramA minorAm
Now his toady tutors fawn and praise the man that he's become
            Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramEsusEsus   Chord diagramE MajorE
Though he's taken to the Laudanum and Faro
       Chord diagramA minorAm                                           Chord diagramG+G                     Chord diagramA minorAm
And he walks the streets like velvet death with his daddy's money on his breath
      Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G                  Chord diagramA minorAm
And a shame he cannot shake, down in his marrow


CHORUS:
     Chord diagramA minorAm                               Chord diagramDmDm
When day fades to black, you must not listen to the killer
       Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramEsusEsus   Chord diagramE MajorE
Pretty voices keep you beautiful and bound
           Chord diagramA minorAm                          Chord diagramDmDm
'Cause the simple sorry fact of your existence, Preston Miller
    Chord diagramFF                   Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
Is enough to bring this house of evil down


Chord diagramA minorAm                                   Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramA minorAm
One night upon some drunken dare, he writes his absent sire
         Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramA minorAm
Saying, "Father, I would fain come home to meet thee"
                                                Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramA minorAm
And though his worthless friends guffaw at this sudden show of fire
 Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramA minorAm
Another round of bourbon and it's easy


Chord diagramA minorAm                                      Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramA minorAm
And this letter finds his father in his tower far away
        Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G                   Chord diagramA minorAm
And the hoary claw that holds it shakes and trembles
      Chord diagramA minorAm                             Chord diagramG+G
Is it grief over a life misspent, or love or greed or mere contempt
   Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramA minorAm
Or something darker stirring in his temples
CHORUS
     Chord diagramA minorAm                               Chord diagramDmDm
When day fades to black, you must not listen to the killer
       Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramEsusEsus   Chord diagramE MajorE
Pretty voices keep you beautiful and bound
           Chord diagramA minorAm                          Chord diagramDmDm
'Cause the simple sorry fact of your existence, Preston Miller
    Chord diagramFF                   Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
Is enough to bring this house of evil down


Chord diagramA minorAm                                Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramA minorAm
Chord diagramA augmentedA week gone by, he's wakened by a knocking at his door
       Chord diagramC majorC                  Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
And he drags himself half-wasted to the threshold
                                             Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramA minorAm
It's a message in his father's quill saying, "Meet me, scion, if you will
       Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramA minorAm
At the very stroke of midnight in the meadow"


Chord diagramA minorAm                                       Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramA minorAm
Now he has combed his laggard locks, and hired a comely roan
         Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramEsusEsus       Chord diagramE MajorE
And he's met his comrade fops around the fountain
         Chord diagramA minorAm                                    Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
And he's bidden each a grand goodbye, and he's cantered off alone
   Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
To meet his aged father in the mountains


CHORUS
     Chord diagramA minorAm                               Chord diagramDmDm
When day fades to black, you must not listen to the killer
       Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramEsusEsus   Chord diagramE MajorE
Pretty voices keep you beautiful and bound
           Chord diagramA minorAm                          Chord diagramDmDm
'Cause the simple sorry fact of your existence, Preston Miller
    Chord diagramFF                   Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
Is enough to bring this house of evil down


 Chord diagramA minorAm                                     Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
"Oh, Father dear, come out, come out, I honour thee tonight,"
   Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramA minorAm
He shouts as he goes weaving in the saddle
                                           Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramA minorAm
He sees the stars go blinking by, like the twinkling in a trollop's eye
        Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramA minorAm
And six riders riding madly in the shadows


Chord diagramA minorAm                                  Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramA minorAm
This morning sailed a ship of fools across a sea of gin
       Chord diagramC majorC                  Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA minorAm
With a blind and grinning Reaper at the tiller
       Chord diagramA minorAm                          Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramA minorAm
And it drove an aging Jacob to his lone and bitter end
      Chord diagramC majorC                  Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramA minorAm
And a bullet through the brain of Preston Miller
