Mausoleum

Bm F# Come inside my mausoleum Bm Light a candle on the pathway to my casket room F# Step on through rusty iron archways Bm Where a pigeon lays that died without his lover Bm Em So strange and beautiful F# Bm How you gaze upon my bones G Em A mistake, a tragedy F# Bm Since we missed each other by a century Bm F# They took my clothes and sent to a museum Bm All I am is dust and a handlebar mustachio F# They took my guns, and horse and swords for history Bm But they kindly left a photograph of you and me G Em Your dress, so beautiful F# Bm On those cliffs that took your soul G Em Though I reached for you as you drifted out to sea F# Bm Since we missed each other by a century A G Bm Your fine lips, I would kiss you again A Em Bm So don't be frightened by my skeleton A G Bm I'd k**l to touch your soft, bony hands F# A G Em F# But I can't because this is my lover's century G Em So strange, and beautiful F# Bm How you gaze upon my bones G Em Before you leave me out to sea F# Bm I'll visit your bones next century
