Chords for Robyn Hitchcock - Love In The Garden of Light (unreleased video footage)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Look, _ [C#] _
it's the past.
It's [G] perfectly round and cremolated.
You could have all [C] these characters just peering [G] out of the battlements, _ _
throwing _ cigarettes _ _ _ out into the future.
_ Surely more deadly than heroin.
_ And talking of deadly, what could be more exciting than a clip of me from _ 1992 _ _
[B] performing [A] a song that never made it [G] onto _ the record that we were working on at the time? _ _
_ _ Which was called [D]
Respect, and it's many _ anagrams, including _ Spectre.
Anyway, the point is, [G#] I found this [C#] old video _ of me and my chest and my mullet
all doing this song which never [D] got anywhere.
_ _ It's not that great, but it's not bad, and [F#] you'll particularly _ savour the digital print over my [G] face.
You're probably wishing there was some right [N] now.
Look, let's simulate it like this. _ _
_ Vroon! _ _ _ _
It's called [G] Love in the Garden of [N] Light.
It was back then, and I still have that guitar at my mum's house.
Here it is. _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ It's a real [E] _ part of _ [G] something
_ One that no _
[C] _ detective _ _ [G] _ follows
[A] _ _ _ Over [Am] all [C] the _ stars and _ houses
[G] _ _ Burning _ _ in a [D] _ lane of _ _ cars
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [D] Fireflies and [C] _ _ _ lanterns are _
[G] The _ _ powers in your [C] _ [E] bed of _ [F] darkness
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Fireworks but _ _ only in _ [D] slow _ _ _ _ _ motion _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Am] Love [A] _ _
[E] in the garden of [Em] light
_ [G] _ Tissue paper hearts that [D] _ flutter in the night and [A] they're gone
_ Love _ _
[D] [E] in the garden of [Em] light _
[G] I wish you could be here [D] beside _ _ me _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ Is there any [A] _ _ real [Am] _ _
silence
[G] _ _ _ Real _ peace [C] or just the lack of [Am] _ noise
She was [C] wandering _ _ half _ aloud
_ [G] And tapping _ _ _ on a [D] _ china _ _ [E] _
[F] vase
_ _ _ Suddenly _
[D] [C] the _ dragon _ cracked _ [G] alive
_ And slid _ [F] from the _ _ ceramic
_ _ _ _ Honey you [C] are _ deeper _ _ than the [D] _ _ _ _ _
ocean _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Am] _ Love _ _ [E] in the garden of [Em] light
_ [G] _ Half a billion _ people _ [D] struggle in the night and [A] they're gone
_ _ Love _ [Em] in the garden of light
[G] _ I wish you could be here _ [D] beside me _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ You've got the [A] _ _ [E] power if you [G] _ _ only _ _ start to [C] _ use it _ honey
_ [Am] _ _ _ Treat each other [C] _ right on Earth
_ [G] You wouldn't _ have to [D] move to [E] _
Mars
[F] _ _ _ _ _ Agitated _ [C] _ _ _ _ molecules _ [G] are _ _ _ _ electricity _ [D] _ _ _ within _ _
[F] us
_ Heaven _ [C] is a _ dance without _ _
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ commotion
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ Love _ [E] in the garden [Em] of light _ _
[G] Every time I see you [D] I don't want to fight _ [A] anymore
_ _ Love _ in [E] the garden of [Em] light
_ [G]
I wish you could be here [D]
beside me
_ _ _ [Dm] _
I wish [D] you could be here beside _ me
_ _ [C] _
Thank you for watching.
I'm about to explain something which _ is that _
part [N] of _ getting older and older is that you leave a long trail behind you
the more _ track you cover the more carriages you seem to have [C#] behind you
the fewer in front of you, I suppose you lined up behind another [N] similar train _ _
part of the train of my life is the carriages, the songs [F] I've left behind
and me performing them with various friends and alone
some friends and I have [F#] found _ [C#] lots of clips of me performing with various hairstyles
[G] under different lighting conditions _
_ going [G#] back to the dawn of photography which in my case would have been about [E] _ _
1987
_ _ _ Good tonight please _ take my eyes [A] I'd _ use _ _ them
_ _ _ _ _ That was called One Long [F#] Pair of Eyes
I'm not quite sure [Fm] what we're trying to [N] attract
some people say the music of the early Pink Floyd used to attract _ UFOs
I think we're more likely to attract _ phone boxes _
There will be a series of these clips [D#] _
_ [G#] kind of counting down towards _ [C#] _ the end of February
when I get very very near to [D] the portal of [E] 60 [Fm] and my being begins to squeeze [G] itself into my _ 61st year
should I get that far
_ as you know also time is supposed to end on December 21st
so again a big [Fm] apology if that happens and the [G] rest of this doesn't occur
but of course it may occur in a parallel dimension
in which case the end of time is no more than a traffic diversion on the [C#] Camden Road
which is probably happening right _ _ _ _ _
So this stuff is all going to be shown
[G#] there's going to be little [G#] _ dots of _ film of me _ _ _
_ climaxing in a whacking great _ Robin Hitchcock special TV _ _ evening
available only on the Robin Hitchcock [G] channel
which I gather is there somewhere like so many things so many [F] dimensions
so you can see all this old stuff of me
_ _ _ [C#] as I _ [G#] climb into the blimp labelled [G] 60 and my fab new album [N] Love From London comes out
_ It's all part of a grand scheme _ Thank you _ _ _
