Intro: D Em A
[Verse 1]
D And so the story goes they wore the clothes Em A They said the things to make it seem improbable D Em A The whale of a lie like they hope it was D And the Goodmen Tomorrow had their feet in the wallow Em And their heads of Brawn were nicer shorn A D And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust Em A And the world was asleep to our latent fuss D Em .....Sighing, the swirl through the streets A Like the crust of the sun
[Chorus 1]
Bm The Bewlay Brothers A In our Wings that Bark G Flashing teeth of Brass F# Standing tall in the dark F#sus4 F# Asus2 Oh, And we were Gone G Hanging out with your Dwarf Men G G/F# Em We were so turned on C By your lack of conclusions
Interlude: D Em A
[Verse 2]
D I was Stone and he was Wax Em So he could scream, and still relax, unbelievable A D Em A And we frightened the small children away D And our talk was old and dust would flow through our veins Em And Lo! it was midnight back at the kitchen door A D Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor Em A D And the solid book we wrote cannot be found today Em A And it was stalking time for the Moonboys
[Chorus 2]
Bm The Bewlay Brothers A With our backs on the arch G In the Devil-may-be-here F# But He can't sing about that F#sus4 F# Asus2 Oh, And we were Gone G Real Cool Traders G G/F# Em We were so Turned On C You thought we were Fakers
Interlude: D Em A
[Verse 3]
D And now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned Em The Factor Max that proved the fact is melted down A D Em A Woven on the edging of my pillow D Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks Em He could be dead, He could be not, he could be You A D He's Chameleon, Comedian, Corinthian and Caricature Em A Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky D Bewlay Brothers Em A In the feeble and the Bad
[Chorus 3]
Bm Bewlay Brothers A In the Blessed and Cold G In the Crutch-hungry Dark F# Was where we flayed our Mark F#sus4 F# Asus2 Oh, and we were Gone G Kings of Oblivion Em We were so Turned On C In the Mind-Warp Pavilion
[Outro]
Bm C Lay me place and bake me pie F Bm I'm starving for me Gravy Bm C Leave my shoes, and door unlocked F Bm I might just slip away, hey F Just for the Day, Hey! Bm Hey, Please come Away, Hey! F Just for the Day Bm Please come away...
