Chords for Van Dyke Parks ~ The Attic (1968)

_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [A] I was there, upon a board poster there, My pals were cake [E] to bear,
Some thoughts in the past, [B] a little dash [A] of [E] influenza,
And [A] there I gave to see, it packaged the man for me,
So trunk it could [F#] _ souvenirs, [C#m] the war years,
My [F#m] bones I'd [C#] set aside, [F#m] _ [C#m] like a patch,
_ [D] _
Who [C#] _ [E] I'd demise, _
_ [A] _ who _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [A] _ _ [C#] I'd be,
Ah, [E] the bloom ascends and it's gone,
The [A] lancet of night comes on, the champagne's here and gone,
[D#] And the [E] forest, the [B] sensitive south [F#] forest,
_ _ [B] _ _
[A] Through the paced, cloud-bundled floor,
[A#]
Remains a [A] twist, cross [F#] or break,
Do that [C#m] asshole [F#m] lie, I [C#] said I [F#m] would,
Like [C#m] the poor, _ _ [A] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [B] I'd demise,
[C#m] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ Your [E] _ age will [A] most probably carry [E] away,
Take [A]
the letters and [E] then to _ [G#] carry on,
_ [A] They [C#] are [F#m] the sad trees [B] of the war,
[E] Take your son's [A] _ [E] progenitor's ship,
But the state has it, they help him to [G#] carry on, _
[B] _ [A] God [C#] send your [F#m] son, [B] save him, hope you,
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey moon, [C#] you're [B] I'd demise, _
_ _ [A] Moon, _ _ _ _ _ _ you're I'd demise, _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ [G#m] you're [A] I'd demise, _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
