Cardiacs – The Alphabet Business Concern Home Of Fadeless Splendour (Guitar)

E      B      F#m       A
Hail majestic corporate light

E      F#m      C#m  F#    E  A
Heaven born and ever bright

E       B      F#m      A
How our spirit like the waves

E      F#m       C#m    F#  E  A
As the breath of thine awakes

E           B        A             B
And now the night of weeping shall be

    E       A    A  E  A
The morn of song

B   C#m    F#          A       E          F#sus4 F#m
Ah! We are those whose thunder shakes the skies

D   A    C#m  F#   E  F#
The thin spun life

E       B        F#m  A
Home of fadeless splendour

E      F#m      C#m     F#   E  A
Of flowers that bear no thorn

E            B         A
Here may the blind and hungry come

    B         E       A   A  E  A
And light and food receive

B    C#m    F#         C#m  F#m    A
Here mighty springs of consolation rise

   E         F#sus4   A
To cheer the fainting mind

   F#sus4 C#m   F#  C#m  F#
And re-creation find

E   B       F#m A
So overcome thy fear

E         F#m  C#m    F#   E  A
And burst into sudden blaze

E          B    A             B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears

         E        A    A  E  A
And slit the thin spun life

B   C#m     F#         A     E       F#sus4  F#m
Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail

D   A       C#m  F#
Thy justice fear

E       B       F#m     A
Walk in shadow, walk in dread

E         F#m     C#m      F#  E  A
Loosefish walk as like one dead

E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea

E       F#m     C#m F#  E  A
No more to rise forever

E        B       A             B
Anything down there about your souls

     E         A    A    E  A
Will smash the sun alight

B   C#m         F#      A        E       F#
Ah! Yield week in, weak out from morn to night

        E    F#sus4     A
Feelers from across the sea

     F#sus4   C#m  F#  C#m  F#
Come crawling over thee

E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea

   E       F#m  C#m F#  E  A
No more to rise forever

E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea

   E       F#m  C#m F#  E  A
No more to rise forever

E          B    A             B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears

         E        A    A  E  A
And slit the thin spun life

B   C#m     F#         A     E       F#sus4  F#m
Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail

D   A    C#m  F#   E  A
The thin spun life

C#m    F#          C#m     F#m        A
We are those whose thunder shakes the skies

                E    F#sus4   A
Whose eyes this atom globe surveys

    F#sus4  C#m      F#  C#m  F#
Thy justice fear, hooray!
