Augustine chords by Patrick Wolf

Chords with lyrics

READ THIS: This song is difficult to play, and I've tried my best to point out the
little things (such as when sections change), but you will have to listen to the song to know
where and when to switch chords, and how to play the song regarding force and such, as
all those things were too hard for me to write out in a way that you would understand.

This is made completely by ear, and is played on the piano but works just as well on any
other instrument (e.g. guitar). I found that none of the other interpretations on this
site did the original justice, so here's to this beautiful, beautiful song.

If you would like me to take out any other song Patrick has made, I would be glad to.
Message me, and I'll see what I can do!

INTRO:

C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
F minorFm Eb MajorEb DbDb
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb

VERSE 1:
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
As the bell tower blocks the summer light
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
All the seeds in our garden fight
F minorFm Eb MajorEb DbDb
To break and blossom, all to be adored
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
And look, your skirt is torn
DbDb
And there's blood on our sheets

C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
As comes the long arm of the law
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
Fist tight, banging on the door
F minorFm Eb MajorEb DbDb
And knocking me down
(Slower, and stroke the last chord and then mute it just before entering the second half
of the verse)
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
On its way in

C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
As I pass out into a dream
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
Of whooping cranes and wooden beams
F minorFm Eb MajorEb DbDb
Great white wings beating
(Slower)
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
In an attic, in a house, in the dead of night
Singing

CHORUS 1:
DbDb Eb MajorEb
Oh, my
F minorFm C minorCm DbDb F minorFm C minorCm DbDb
Augustine, Augustine
DbDb Eb MajorEb
Oh, is this
F minorFm C minorCm DbDb F minorFm C minorCm DbDb
Forever, ever?
DbDb Eb MajorEb
Oh, oh my sweet
F minorFm C minorCm DbDb F minorFm C minorCm DbDb
Augustine, Augustine
DbDb Eb MajorEb
What does this mean
(This part goes into the verse)
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
for us?

VERSE 2:
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
Does it mean that I can never change my ways?
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay
F minorFm Eb MajorEb DbDb
Still you will and love me
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
Like a mother or a maid bringing you
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
down, down, down on your brazen knees
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
Watering the worms and the weeds
F minorFm Eb MajorEb DbDb
Thinking, why does love leave me
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
So damn cold? Now I'm getting old
DbDb
And is this what it should be?
Well, is it?

CHORUS 2:
DbDb Eb MajorEb
Oh, my
F minorFm C minorCm DbDb F minorFm C minorCm DbDb
Augustine, Augustine
DbDb Eb MajorEb
Oh, is this
F minorFm C minorCm DbDb F minorFm C minorCm DbDb
Forever, ever?
DbDb Eb MajorEb
Oh, oh my sweet
F minorFm C minorCm DbDb F minorFm C minorCm DbDb
Augustine, Augustine
(This part goes into the bridge)
DbDb Eb MajorEb
Or do we kill this one tonight?

VERSE 3:
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
And now come the tears, heavy and hot
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
As it comes clear, this is all we got
F minorFm Eb MajorEb DbDb
As I hold you to my bed like a
C minorCm F minorFm DbDb
Cancer, or a curse, now be my
DbDb
Loving nurse, as we fall back
DbDb Eb MajorEb F minorFm
Into the impossible dream
