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
