Dm            Fmaj7
A pistol shot, at five o'clock,
Bdim7                 Bb
The bells of heaven ring,
A7               Dm
Tell me what you done it for,
     F                C         A7
No I won't tell you a thing.

       thing


Dm          Fmaj7
Yesterday I begged you
Bdim7              Bb
Before I hit the ground,
A7          Dm
All I leave behind me
   F           C
Is only what I found.

       C                          A7

      found

Dm         Fmaj7
If you can abide it,
Bdim7                 Bb
Let the hurdy-gurdy play,
A7                 Dm
Stranger ones have come by here
  F              C
Before they flew away.


  C                          A7

       away


Dm            Fmaj7
I will not condemn you
Bdim7             Bb
Nor yet would I deny,
A7              Dm
I would ask the same of you,
    F                 C     Am
But failing, will not die.
A7         D

                       A
Take up your china doll, (take up your china doll, Whoooo)
          G                                         D
It's only fractured; just a little nervous from the fall.
