Elegy

G D G D C D C D G D Minor chords and major arcana G D Little leather jacket and a black bandana C D Kicking over trashcans and telling jokes in Atlanta C When I got the fever, it hit me like a fan D On the back of my hand I don't know who I am G D But I'm free for nothing good for nothing too G D Crazy to dream and still crazy about you C D Won't you let me in one more time, babe I want to feel it too C D Well nothing is a lie, babe if you know it ain't true G D Take a look at me now G D Take a look at me now G D Reparations now coming my way G D Dues that I've recollected that I never paid C D In the stained glass windows babe I feel the presence, oh yeah C D But that don't mean I'm done with repentance oh no G D Gonna find another way to climb out of this basement G D Gonna find out what that smile on your face meant C D Like a thief that you borrow baby take a hold of me, take flight G D And I want to do your bidding babe I want to steal away in the night G D Take a look at me now G D Take a look at me now G D Heart's on fire; so is the page G D Everybody round here is telling me to act my age, I'm tryin' C D Things are only revealed in the light that is given C D Oh to be freed from the pardon when all else is forgiven G D Rain outside is blowing in the curtains G D Nothing is revealed but nothing is for certain C D As I recall you was drinking from the sanctuary wine C D Well don't worry baby we'll find all of our lost time G D Take a look at me now G D Take a look at me now C D As I recall you were standing there, you was holding your rosary beads C D Everyone around here seems to think he knows what he needs C D Seven ugly reasons kept me away from you then C D Nothing is much weaker than the resolve of most men G D I remember when we was alone in your room G D Staring out your window we knew you'd be going soon C D And I was so young babe I hope that you knew that I meant well C D And when I looked in your eyes I thought I knew you could tell G D Now I'm blown back from the cemetery gates G D You whom I loved dearly now I must wait C D To be reunited in the sky when it opens C D Well my feet are so tired baby but my spirit ain't broken G D Take a look at me now G D Take a look at me now C D C D C D C D G D G D G D G D 2x
