[D]
[Em] [A]
[D] [Gm]
[A] [D] And [A] so the [D] story goes, they wore the [A] clothes, they said the things to [E] make it seem improbable.
[A]
The will of [D] a liar like the hope it was.
[Em] [A] [D]
And the good men tomorrow had their feet in the [Em] wallow,
And their heads are brawn with nice [A] ashorn, And how they bought their positions [D] with saccharine and trust.
And [Em] the world was asleep [A] to our latent fuss.
[D]
[Em] Signs swirled through [A] the streets like the crust of the [Bm] sun,
The view, dear brothers, [A] in our whims that bark.
[G] Flashing teeth of frost, [F#] stamping tall in the dark.
[A]
Hanging out with [G] your 12 men, we were so [Em] turned on by your lack of [C] conclusions.
[D]
[Em] [A]
I [D] was stone, he was wax, so he could scream and still relax.
[Em] Unbelievable, [A] and we frightened the [D] small children away.
And
[Em] [D] [A]
our [D] talk was old and dust [G] would flow through our [D] veins, and though it was [Em] midnight back at the kitchen door,
Like the [A] grim face on the [D] cathedral floor,
[Em] The solid book we [A] wrote could not be found [D] today.
[Em] And it was stocking time for the [D] [A] moonboys, the Beaulieu [Bm] brothers,
With [A] our backs on the arch, and [G] the devil may be here,
But he [F#] can't sing above that.
[B]
[A] And we were gone, [G] real cool traders.
We were [Bm] so [Em] turned on, you [G] thought we [C] were fakers.
[D]
[Em] [A]
And [D] now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned, the factor maxed,
The proof of [Em] fact is melted down, woven [A] on the edging [D] of my pillow.
[Em]
[D] And my brother lays upon the rocks, he could be dead, he [A] could be [Em] not, he could be you.
He's chameleon, comedian, [D] Corinthian, and caricature.
[Em] Shooting up [A] high in the sky, [D] Beaulieu brothers,
In [Em] the feeble and the bad, [A]
[Bm] Beaulieu brothers.
And [A] the nest is in code, [G] in the crutch hungry dark,
[F#] Where we played our marks, oh, and [A] we were gone.
Kings of [G] oblivion, we were [Bm] so [Em] turned on, in the [D] night war [C] pavilion.
[B] Buy me [C] place and make me buy, [F] I'm starving for [B] me gravy.
Leave my [C] shoes and door unlocked, [F] I might just slip [Bm] away.
Hey, just [F] for the day, hey, please [Bm] come away.
Hey, just [F] for the day, hey, please [Bm] come away.
Please [F] come away, just [Bm] for the day, please [F] come away.
Please come [Bm] away, please [F] come away,
[Bm]
[F] away.
