Maybe the other submission are the chords for another recording, but anyway: these are
chords for the recording I have. Thanks to dressrag1 for laying out the base.
Capo: 2 nd fret
Intro: Am
Am
gather 'round, you wounded people
Dm
shadows fall upon the steeple,
Am G
soon shall come the closing of,
Fadd9 F G
the closing of the gates
Am
for there is a word of plague among us
F
curse the one whose poison stung us,
C Am
all along the alleyways
G F G
the satyrs wait their fate
Am
but who's to blame when all are guilty
Dm
morals stained & conscience filthy
Am G
abreast your idol replicas
Fadd9 F G
your replicas of lust,
Am
in the sky I hear the threshing
F
dare to watch your lord undressing
C Am
while you beg forgiveness,
G F G
you feed on his disgust
C G F C G
but if perhaps the salt might stain your skin
Am G F C G
and if perhaps the smoke might weep your eyes
C G C G
listen while the threnodies begin
Am G F G
know no one in here gets out alive.
Am
but let your frailty not deceive you
Dm
a little pinprick, rest relieves you,
Am G
and dream of all the days that are,
Fadd9 F G
the years that are to come -
Am
for you will dance & you'll be nimble
F
pirouettes upon a thimble
C Am
and I will be beside you
G F G
lest I lose you once again.
C G F C G
but if perhaps my sorrows all are show
Am G F C G
and I should find a crack among the gates,
C G C G
guilt shall follow me where'er I go
Am G F G
though I try I know I can't escape
C G C G C G F F (x2)
Am
and when you're gone the earth will crumble
Dm
I will try but I will stumble
Am G
and all through these city streets
Fadd9 F G
my robes shall drag the ground
Am
hear the children swing with sorrow,
F
yesterday was once tomorrow
C Am
no more I'll be troubled
G F G
by the troubles of this world
C G F C G
but if I lose my step along the way
Am G F G
and if the speech of victim fills my throat
C Am
out beyond past the cliffs that shape the day
G6 (= 320000)
it's there I’ll wander, there I’ll stray
F G
it's there I’ll look for you when all my trials are done
C Am
I feign sleep to save my breath,
G6
this love is loss, this life is theft,
F G
and all that's left is some vain need to carry on
C Am
and though I fear the tightening of the skies
G6
against the dawn I'll watch you rise
F G
oh lord, the company I keep within my head
C Am
the scent of flesh might tease the nose
G
it claims the calm, it clings the clothes
could that be you, my love?
F G
your dust upon the wind?
C Am G6 F G (x2)
C G F G (x4)
Am
