Gdim Em6 Sat in upholstery that was once brilliant Gdim Em6 We picked its loose stuffing and looked around Gdim Em6 There were duchesses and dukes, and beggars and pimps Eb7 All sat side-by-side to watch his last grasp at life Gdim Em6 The grand centrepiece was a gold-green sarcophagus Gdim Em6 Flanked either side by oil-painted pictures of the man Gdim Em6 First of all, a film to explain his life-long dream Eb7 Eb9 Adim melody 1 Afterwards, music started and a young girl ran on with operatic screams

[Verse]
Em Em Two hours went by and his sixty-five daughters Em Em Who told, through opera, of his life's importance Em Em They sang of his exploits all over the Earth Em Em His likes and dislikes, his undoubtable worth Em Em And after a last crescendo where they all cried as one Em Em They hurried quickly off, but the music played on Em Em From within the sarcophagus rose a spot-lit weathered hand
Em Em melody 2

D Bm Em A Will I forever be a mediocrity? F#m Bm Em A A hideous glut with trembling knees? D A/C# A/C Gmaj7 In death will I see the girls of daydreams? G/A Intangibly dressed, invisibly seamed? D Will the sun burn out? Bm Will my corpse grow a beard? Em Will my house be kept? A And my sperm be reared? F#m Bm My last shot at the big time, posthumous paste Em A Will I find a home, or go to waste? Bm Bm6 Bm5+ Em9 Em7 In Heaven do the morals of Earth still stand? G/A G/A Or can I bridge the gap twixt beast and man? F#m6 B7/b9 G#m7 C#7 Is there such a thing as a universal truth? C#m7 F#7 Bm7 E7 Any lost secret to eternal youth? G/A Do nuns fornicate? G/A And do scientists pray? G/A D D#dim Is a sin committed every moment of every day?
