Wake Of The Medusa chords by The Pogues

Verse 1:
  Am
The guests are stood in silence
   F        Am
They stare and drink their wine

On the wall the canvas hangs
C      E7
Frozen there in time

C      G
They marvel at the beauty
  Am     F
The horror and despair
    Am
At the wake of the Medusa
C      Am
No one shed a tear

C       G
Sit my friends and listen
Am        F
Put your glasses down
C       G
Sit my friends and listen
    Am
To the voices of the drowned



Am D7sus2  Am Esus4
Am D7sus2  Am Esus4

Verse 2:

  Am
In the moonlight's ghostly glow
 F    Am
I waken in a dream

Once more upon that raft I stand
C       E7
Upon a raging sea

C       G
In my ears the moans and screams
  Am    F
Of the dying ring
  Am
Somewhere in the darkness
C        Am
The siren softly sings

C        G
Out there in the waves she stands
Am        F
And smiling there she calls
C            G
As the lightning cracks the sky
  Am
The wind begins to howl


Am D7sus2  Am Esus4
Am D7sus2  Am Esus4
Am D7sus2  Am Esus4
Am D7sus2  Am Esus4


Verse 3:
  Am
The architects of our doom
 F         Am
Around their tables sit

And in their thrones of power
C           E7
Condemn those they've cast adrift

C        G
Echoes down the city street
   Am        F
Their harpies laughter rings
  Am
Waiting for the curtain call
C      Am
Oblivious in the wings

C       G
The casket is empty
Am       F
Abandon ye all hope
C         G
They ran off with the money
  Am
And left us with the rope
