[Intro]
D F#/C# C#
[Verse 1]
F# In Orient where wise I was G# To please the way I live G#m7 Come give the beggar chance at hand F# His life is on his lip F# Three score a thousand times G# Where once in Amazon G#m7 Where El Dorado holds the key F# No keeper holds my hand
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A#m D#m Unchain the gate of solitude F#/C# The ruler says you run G#/B# Run hard unto the scaffold high D7 F#/C# C# Your chance to jump the gun
[Chorus 1]
F# Oh how high the scaffold grows C#7 F# The plant life of your widow F# In black lace curtains brought you near C#7 From out the plate glass window F# Oh how high the scaffold grows C#7 F# The plant life of your widow F# In black lace curtains brought you near C#7 F# From out the plate glass window
[Verse 2]
F# The Minotaur with bloody hands G# Is enraged by the sun G#m7 Caged he by the corpses F# Brought forth by the dawn F# In Orient is as I told G# The buckshee hangman swears G#m7 For open crypts to silence F# Nylon knots to sway by prayer
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A#m D#m Unchain the gate of solitude F#/C# The ruler says you run G#/B# Run hard unto the scaffold high D7 F#/C# C# Your chance to jump the gun
[Chorus 2]
F# Oh how high the scaffold grows C#7 F# The plant life of your widow F# In black lace curtains brought you near C#7 From out the plate glass window F# Oh how high the scaffold grows C#7 F# The plant life of your widow F# In black lace curtains brought you near C#7 F# From out the plate glass window
[Outro]
F# In Orient where wise I was G# To please the way I live G#m7 Come give the beggar chance at hand F# His life is on his lip
