BbM7
Agatha and I go
Dm
Down to the courtyard slinging
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Last year's Sundays in the riv - er of time
BbM7
Agatha and I go
Dm
Down to the citadel Sunday
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Red church bells and the moon on the rise
BbM7
If you were to tell her
Dm
The days are numbered
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
I'd break the teeth in your fake ass smile
BbM7
Maybe in a rare wind
Dm
Maybe in a month of Sundays
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Maybe in a war I would still read the wrong signs
BbM7
But I don't mind it
Dm
Being in the darkness baby
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
To be by your side I would walk the Nile twice
BbM7
Days of lantana
Dm
Each saint with a cross and a hammer
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Radiation of the Cheren-kov kind
BbM7
So we go walking
Dm
Birds at the window talking
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Jubilations in the faint June shine

β« Verse 2:
BbM7
Agatha and I go
Dm
Down to the citadel winnin'
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Things that graciously came to mind
BbM7
Gathering the day in
Dm
Some make arrangements
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Some know the way and they just walk a straight line - well
BbM7
Curly's a baker's boy
Dm
Living for the harvest nights
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Turns to me, says something like "The world only turns twice:
BbM7
Once for the laughter
Dm
Once for the memories after
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
All the rest is just kicking through the weather and the fines"
BbM7
So we go dancing
Dm
Twist turns and all things fancy
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
"I blame the baker boy," that's what I had on my mind
BbM7
You in the here now
Dm
Me in the far bar
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
I'd wait forever if they gave me enough time
BbM7
Outside walking
Dm
Birds at the window talking
C BbM7 BbM7/A F
Iterations of the faint June shine
