Chords for Beth Patterson: Chaos Mongrel/Dark Stranger's Ceili

_ This is a song called Chaos [G] Mongrel and actually I'm going into a song that I
used to play years ago with a group [B] called the Pork Lairs _ and which was very
disturbing because for eight years people thought it was the band was
called [A] the Pork Lairs _ and [D] _
_ which [Ab] means that we never got booked for any
bar mitzvahs _ _
[A] but [D] _ _ I digress.

_ _ I am [Gm] a spirit [D] of your darkest desires
_ _ I will [Gm] be there from [D] distant fantasy shorelines if [C] you would call _
company of only [A] your thoughts are so shrill and nothing [C] can soothe but when the royal
sheep [D] would exercise chaos bliss conquers all, _ [Dm] company changes [Gm]
and plans [Cm] give way
[Gm] I [C] will lift you up [D] so slowly, love [Dm] fruit is [Gm] always a thought [Cm] away
[Gm] I [C] will hold you in [D] my mind, all I can offer [Gm] is _
[C] sympathy
[Gm] I [C] will lift you up [D] so slowly, move that [Dm] I could [Gm] give a [C] piece of me
_ [Gm] I [C] will hold you in [D] my mind _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ There [Gm] is no shame in [A] sordid wanting affection when there is lack
So when you fall to grab [D] some courage and [Dm] picture me with [C] a smile
Are you aware that [Dm] now I summon you while so in my [C] embrace
Love is a wayward [A] mongrel, steady but can be captured with quiet
[Dm] Company changes [Gm] and plans [C] give way
_ [Gm] I [C] will lift you up [D] so slowly, comfort [Dm] is [Gm] always a [C] thought away
_ I [C] will hold you in [D] my mind, all [Dm] I can [Gm] offer is [Cm] sympathy

_ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ am a figment [A] of a temporary fancy, [C] a singing swan [Bb] of childhood in [D] flight
_ _ That must be the reason [A] that still I curse the dawn, hey
[F] Will you dance with [Eb] me just [D] for tonight, _ _ _ step [F] into the ring for just [Bb] a moment
_ [Gm] The crack is [Cm] good and [A] low and in rolls my face, [D] _
identity [F] is [Bb] also the circle
_ _ [Gm] The words [G] that must not be [A] spoken only [D] vibes replace _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
And reverence in a [A] flute so lofty and liquid [G] and rhythm like the [Bb] beating [D] of a heart _ _
Singing is a warning [A] sound of fumbling the distance [F] and when it [Bb] stops, pulse is [D] torn apart _ _
Oh, hearts and [F] lives, this [Bb] is both curse and blessing
_ [Gm] I can see it [G] swiftly coming [A] on to mesmerize and fight
[D] Like two golden headlights in [Bb] the road upon me
A [Gm] half [G]-size and a paralyzed [A]
rabbit in [D] the night
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] Sometimes our [Dm] ambitions only lead us to confusion
[Bb] There are things we would obtain [G] at any cost
And [Gm] when our virtues finally terrorist [Dm] from the clutches of delusion
[D]
There are tales we [Bb] leave unspoken [A] at borders we don't [D] cross
They always warn me, be careful [A] what you wish for
[G] Not knowing [Bb] inspiration could [D] do you ill
_ And later someone cursed me, [A] may you get just what you wish for
[F] If I cannot [Eb] have _
_ [A] _ _ _ what happens [F] for a cause [Bb] beyond my _ knowing
[Gm] Just dance with [G] me tonight and leave [A] your reasoning behind
[D] The rhythm of [F] the line [Bb] stops come morning
_ [Gm] And we'll [C] be lived forever [A] with our differences _ [D] in mind _ _
