[Intro]
D D Em A7 Intro strumed and instrumental.
[Verse 1]
D And so the story goes, they wore the clothes, D Em They said the things, to make it seem: improbable. A7 D D Em A7 ... The whale of a lie, like they hope it was. [Riff 1] D D And the goodmen, tomorrow, had their feet in the wallow, Em And their heads of brawn were nicer shorn, A7 D D And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust. Em A7 D D And the world was asleep, to our latent fuss. [Instrumental]
[Pre Chorus 1]
Em A7 Sighing they swirl through the streets like the crust of the sun;
[Chorus 1]
Bm Bm A A The Bewlay Brothers... In our wings that bark... G G F#7 Flashing teeth of brass... Standing tall in the dark... F#4 Asus2 Asus2 G Oh!... And we were gone!... Hanging out with your dwarf-men... G G/F# Em Em C C D D Em A7 We were so turned on!... By your lack of conclu-sions...(Let strings ring in C and go again struming D)
[Verse 2]
D Well, I was stone, and he was wax, D Em So he could scream and still relax: Unbelievable. A7 D D Em A7 ... And we frightened the small children away. [Riff 1] D And our talk was old and dust, would flow, D Em Thru our veins and lo! It was midnight back-at the kitchen door. A7 D D ... Like the grim face on the cathedral floor. Em A7 D D ... And the solid book we wrote cannot be found today. [Instrumental]
[Pre Chorus 2]
Em A7 And it was stalking time for the moonboys;...
[Chorus 2]
Bm Bm A A The Bewlay Brothers... With our backs on the arch... G G F#7 In the Devil may be here... But he can't sing about that... F#4 Asus2 Asus2 G Oh!... And we were gone!... Real cool traders G G/F# Em Em C C D D Em A7 ... We were so turned on!... You thought we were fakers!...(Let strings ring in C and go again struming D)
[Verse 3]
D Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned, D Em The factor max that proved the fact is melted down. A7 D D Em A7 And woven on the edging of my pillow. [Riff 1] D Now my brother lays, upon the rocks, D Em He could be dead, he could be not, and he could be you. A7 D D7 He's chameleon, comedian, corinthian and caricature. Em A7 D D ... Shooting up pie in the sky... The Bewlay Brothers...[Instrumental]
[Pre Chorus 3]
Em A7 In the feeble and bad;...
[Chorus 3]
Bm Bm A A Bewlay- Brothers... In the blessed and cold... G F#7 In the crutch-hungry dark... Was where we flayed our mark... F#4 Asus2 G Oh!... And we were gone!... Kings of obli-vi-on... G/F# Em C C We were so turned on!... In the mind-warp pavi-li-on...(Let string ring in C and bridge)
[Bridge]
Bm C F Bm Lay me place and bake me pie I'm star-ving for me gra-vy! Bm C F Bm Leave my shoes and door un-locked I might just slip a-way, Hey!... [Outro riff]
(Here starts outro)
[Outro]
Bm F F Bm ... Just for the day, Hey!... Please come away, Hey! Bm F F Bm ... Just for the day, Hey!... Please Come away, Hey! Bm F F Bm ... Please come away, Hey!... Just for the day! Bm F F Bm ... Please come away!... Please come away! Bm F F Bm Bm F F ... Please come away!... Please come away!... Away!... Away!... Hey!
