Cri De Coeur

Am Am Am Am C Close the door, turn out the light Em Savants a pill box, please Em Am A man’s overboard without dreams Em G Am While the actors sleep induced Em G Am And the artist’s bow draws down Am Em Turn the dial, oh amulet Em G For the prince of sightless change F C His carriage wept by with all the trappings Am Of death and saints Am Em G Dsus Am I’m sailing shale while shrinking trust Em And finding dawn in dusk G Am And Satan’s in the mangers of Troy Am I’m bailing shale, while shrinking trust Em And finding dawn in dusk G Am But only kings and queens may skip the void Am Em 'Tis a disaster that fie-i-o Em G I’ll tend these pyres for you F And poor William C Am He’s in the poorhouse with cagey souls Am Em G Dsus Am Em G Dsus Am Am Am Am C Take the pledge of the rodeo Em Where mudders sheltered thee Em Am And mothers pray for tithe or leave of man Em G Am As we’ll come to understand them Em G Am A gerrymandering brought them free Am Em Idolaters and those sanctified Em G In monographs and in jibes F Stand upon the alter C Am For an umpteenth repast of due flame Am Em G Dsus Am Say bosom brave, illuminen mine Em Suspended fine in crepe G Am Your papered children have been atomized Am Shake bosom brave illumine mine Em So spin it fine in crepe G Am Your paper children haven’t atomized Am Em 'Tis a disaster that fie-i-o Em G I’ll tend these pyres for you F And poor William C He’s in the poor house Am With the ratlike soul Am Em G Dsus Am Em G Dsus Ah-ooo Am Em G Dsus Ah-ooo Am Em G Dsus Ah-ooo Am Em G Dsus Ah-ooo
