[Verse]
Am D/A Freedom for the scapegoat, leaving Reading Gaol Am D/A Rheumy eyes, just pierced his heart like crucifixion nails Am D/A Shaking fists and razors gleamed, you never stood a chance Am G Bb/F F E7 Am When the ink ran red on Fleet Street you turned your eyes to France [Instrumental] Am Dm7/A Am Dm7/A e||-----------------|--------------------|----------------(5)-|--------------------| B||1-0---0----------|-----------0-1---0--|1-0---0---------(5)-|-----------0-1---0--| G||----2---0--2-----|------0-2------2----|----2---0--2--------|------0-2------2----| D||--------------2--|0-2-3--------------2|--------------2-----|0-2-3--------------2| A||-----------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| E||-----------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
[Verse]
Am D/A Humbled far from Dublin, chased across the waves Am D/A Your biting wit still sharp enough to slice through every page Am D/A Destitute and beaten by the system of the crown Am G Bb/F F E7 Am The bitter pill you swallowed tasted sweeter going down
[Chorus]
Dm E Am And looking back on the great indifference Dm E Am Looking back at the limestone walls Bb Am Thinking how beauty deceived you Dm E7sus4 E7 Knowing how love fools us all [Instrumental] Am Dm/A Am Dm/A e||-----------------|------------------|-----------5-----|------------------|| B||-10-0------------|---------0-1---0--|1-0-0------5-----|---------0-1---0--|| G||---2--0-2--------|-----0-2-----2----|---2--0-2--------|-----0-2-----2----|| D||-------------2---|0-1-2------------2|-----------------|0-1-2------------2|| A||-----------------|------------------|-----------------|------------------|| E||-----------------|------------------|-----------------|------------------||
[Verse]
Am D/A A golden boy in velveteen landed in New York Am D/A The past was so seductive when they paid to hear you talk Am D/A Baccarat and champagne flutes, tobacco from Virginia Am G Bb/F F E7 Am Long before the lords and law branded Oscar Wilde a sinner
[Chorus]
Dm E Am Looking back on the cold, bleak winter Dm E Am Looking back on those long, dark days Bb Am Set like the head of John the Baptist Dm E7sus4 E7 In the arms of Salome [Instrumental] Am Dm7/A Am Dm7/A e||-----------------|--------------------|----------------(5)-|--------------------| B||1-0---0----------|-----------0-1---0--|1-0---0---------(5)-|-----------0-1---0--| G||----2---0--2-----|------0-2------2----|----2---0--2--------|------0-2------2----| x2 D||--------------2--|0-2-3--------------2|--------------2-----|0-2-3--------------2| A||-----------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| E||-----------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
[Bridge]
Am Don't turn around it's a white gull screaming D Don't cry out loud, you never know who's listening F C G7 You've seen it all the exiled Unforgiven Bb F Am From the stately homes of England to her prisons Am Looking back at the hardened lifers D Looking back on the wretched poor F C G7 Thinking maybe they were my saviours Bb F Am Strange to think I'll miss them all Bb F Am Strange to thing I'll miss them all
[Chorus]
Dm E7 Am And looking back on the great indifference Dm E7 Am Looking back at the limestone walls Bb Am Thinking how beauty deceived you Dm E7sus4 E7 Knowing how love fools us all [Outro] Am Dm7/A Am Dm7/A e||-----------------|--------------------|----------------(5)-|----------------------|| B||1-0---0----------|-----------0-1---0--|1-0---0---------(5)-|-----------0-1---0---.|| G||----2---0--2-----|------0-2------2----|----2---0--2--------|------0-2------2------|| D||--------------2--|0-2-3--------------2|--------------2-----|0-2-3--------------2--|| A||-----------------|--------------------|--------------------|---------------------.|| E||-----------------|--------------------|--------------------|----------------------|| Am Dm7/A Am e||-----------------|----------------0-3|-5-------------------| B||1-0---0----------|-----------0-1-----|-5-------------------| G||----2---0--2-----|------0-2----------|-5-------------------| D||--------------2--|0-2-3--------------|-7-------------------| A||-----------------|-------------------|-0-------------------| E||-----------------|-------------------|---------------------|
