THE WIDTH OF A CIRCLE Tabbed by Brian Drew [Intro] Lead Riff, Acoustic comes in Bass comes in, Full band plays riff E E \ E D C# D D | D C# B C# C# | x4 C# A C# C# / [Bridge] E E7 E E E7 E [Verse 1]
       A                                 E  E7  E
In the corner of the morning in the past

        A                                  E  E7  E
I would sit and blame the master first and last

        G                       A
All the roads were straight and narrow

        G                      A
And the prayers were small and yellow

        G                  G#          E   E7  E
and the rumour spread that I was aging fast

       A            C#m             F#m           D
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree

      F                          F#          A   G  E  E7  E  E7  E
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me
[Bridge]
       A                           E  E7  E
Well I said hello and I said hello

      A                                        E  E7  E
And I asked why not and I replied I don't know

      G              A                 G            A
So we asked a simple blackbird who was happy as can be
[Verse 2]
       G                  G#               E   E7  E
And he laughed insane and quipped Kahil Gibran

     A                 C#m             F#m            D
So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through

      F             F#           A       G  E  E7  E  E7  E
For I realised that Gods a young man too
[Solo] E E E7 E E E7 E
     A                                E  E7  E
So I said so long and I waved bye bye

      A                                  E  E7  E
And I smashed my soul and traded my mind
[Verse 3]
    G                A              G             A
Got layed by a young bordello I was vaguely half asleep

             G          G#                 E    E7  E
For which my reputation swept back home in drag
[Bridge]
        A             C#m           F#m        D
And the moral of this magic spell negotiate my hide

     F               F#          A    G
When God did take my logic for a ride

         E   E7  E  E7  E    
Riding a long

He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips

    D                                         C  G
And showed me the leather belt round his hips

   D                                   C
my knees were shaking my cheeks aflame

   G           D
He said you'll never go down to the Gods again

            C  G
Turn around go back
[Verse 5]
   G
He struck the ground a cavern appeared

      A
And I smelt the burning pit of fear

   G
We crashed a thousand yards below

       D
I said do it again do it again

            C  G
Turn around go back
[Verse 6]
    D                          C  G
His nebulous body swayed above

    D                               C  G
His tongue swollen with devils love

    D                        C
The snake and I a venom high

  G    D
I said do it again do it again

            C  G
Turn around go back
[Bridge]
G
Breathe breathe breathe deeply

          A
And I was seething breathing deeply

  G
A spitting sentry horned and tailed
