Camels Swapped For Wives chords by King Creosote
Guitar chords with lyrics
Just a rough version of this beautifully poetic little ditty from the kingdom's finest... VERSE 1 A A postcard arrives A I see you're on your walk well I hope the promised land F#m Is more than sand and rocks and camels swapped for wives E Before you saddle up E Before your Judas knocks 3 times and betrays you to the cops Em Spare a thought for our worries over your state of mind A
So what if you leave behind some trouble with the law?
F#m
It's not so long since your attempt to crucify their dog
E
Your chosen one, the one whose cross will blaze on high
Em
To warn us that meteoric retribution falls down from the skies
Well I don't give a fuck about that
CHORUS
Bm E
(Cos you cannot)(?) be still my brother
Bm E
(An ancient memory)(?), Father, Mother
Bm E
Don't take them down any further
A D Bm
Just 'cos hell won't leave you alone
A D Dm A
Just 'cos hell won't l-e-a-v-e you alone...
VERSE 2
A
You swan in Craigtoun Pond
A
Clad only in your socks
F#m
And you've ran naked in the snow
Upon your Calgary Rock
E
You've watched us with the Devil's Eye half closed behind your mind
Em
You know the day, the date, the time, but not the why
Well I don't give a fuck about that!
CHORUS
