[Gm] A diamond necklace played the part,
Handed handsome from the low [F] wall,
To a handsome man at the top. _ _ _
[Gm] _ A blind class [Bb] aristocracy,
Back through the opera glass [F] you see,
The pit and the pendulum draw. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] Culminated [F] ruins come [C] up,
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G]
Canvas the town and [A] brush the backdrop.
Are [D] you _ sleeping? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ Hung velvet overtaking me,
Jim's chandelier [F] awakening me,
To a song, a song in the dark.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ The music holocaust devout,
The music [Dm] all is lost [F] for now,
To a muted trumpeter's swan. _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] Culminated [F] ruins come up,
[C] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] Canvas the town and [A] brush the backdrop.
_ Are you [D] _ sleeping?
_ _ _ _ Brother John, _
[Em] _ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Fm] Domestic tower, the hour,
[Eb] Strike the street, brick silver moon,
[Ab] _ _
Carriage across the fog,
[Eb] To step, to lap, life's stellar tune.
[Dm] The lips come hard [C] in all _ [F] anxiety, _ _ _ _
[Dm] The glass was raised, the [Gm] fire rose,
The [C] fullness of the wine, the [Bb] dimness [F] toasting.
_ [Dm] What a [C] poor to do [F] or die,
_ _ _ [Dm] A choke of grief, heart hardened I,
[Gm] Beyond belief, [C] a broken man,
A man too [F] tough to cry.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ Surf's up, _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ aboard a tidal [Ab] wave,
_ Come about hard and join [Eb] the young,
An off'n spring you gave.
[Ab] I heard the word, [Cm] wonderful thing,
A [Ab] children's song, [Cm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] a _ children's [Cm] song,
Have [Bb] you seen it?
[Cm] _ _
_ [Fm] This _ song is love,
[Cm] And [Bb] the children [Cm] know the way.
_ [Fm] A _ _ [Eb] children's song,
[Cm] Have [Bb] you seen [Cm] it?
This _ _
_ _ [Fm] song is _ [Cm] _
love,
And the [Bb] children [Cm] know the way.
