Wake Of The Medusa chords by The Pogues

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
  A minorAm
The guests are stood in silence
   FF        A minorAm
They stare and drink their wine

On the wall the canvas hangs
C majorC      E7E7
Frozen there in time

C majorC      G+G
They marvel at the beauty
  A minorAm     FF
The horror and despair
    A minorAm
At the wake of the Medusa
C majorC      A minorAm
No one shed a tear

C majorC       G+G
Sit my friends and listen
A minorAm        FF
Put your glasses down
C majorC       G+G
Sit my friends and listen
    A minorAm
To the voices of the drowned

A minorAm D7sus2  A minorAm Esus4Esus4
A minorAm D7sus2  A minorAm Esus4Esus4

Verse 2:

  A minorAm
In the moonlight's ghostly glow
 FF    A minorAm
I waken in a dream

Once more upon that raft I stand
C majorC       E7E7
Upon a raging sea

C majorC       G+G
In my ears the moans and screams
  A minorAm    FF
Of the dying ring
  A minorAm
Somewhere in the darkness
C majorC        A minorAm
The siren softly sings

C majorC        G+G
Out there in the waves she stands
A minorAm        FF
And smiling there she calls
C majorC            G+G
As the lightning cracks the sky
  A minorAm
The wind begins to howl

A minorAm D7sus2  A minorAm Esus4Esus4
A minorAm D7sus2  A minorAm Esus4Esus4
A minorAm D7sus2  A minorAm Esus4Esus4
A minorAm D7sus2  A minorAm Esus4Esus4


Verse 3:
  A minorAm
The architects of our doom
 FF         A minorAm
Around their tables sit

And in their thrones of power
C majorC           E7E7
Condemn those they've cast adrift

C majorC        G+G
Echoes down the city street
   A minorAm        FF
Their harpies laughter rings
  A minorAm
Waiting for the curtain call
C majorC      A minorAm
Oblivious in the wings

C majorC       G+G
The casket is empty
A minorAm       FF
Abandon ye all hope
C majorC         G+G
They ran off with the money
  A minorAm
And left us with the rope
