Chords

[Intro] G D C D G [Verse 1]
G
Stuck on limbo bridge

      D
Where below me ol' Nick grins

      C                            G
Then laughs through the chaos of it all

G
Gets up off his chair

        D
Spins a jig to my despair

         C           D      G
He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong

G
Underneath the bush

      D
Lay a begger out of luck

       C                   G
On his lips was a taste he forgets

    G
His hopes are filled with sand

        D
That he watched fall through his hand

      C           D           G
Every grain was a lifetime of regret
[Chorus]
         D    G
So go and bow your head and weep

       C      D      G
For your world won't change while you sleep

D       G
Yeah go and bow your head and weep

        C D     Em
For the summer that was lost now is gone

C  D G
Yeah the summer that was lost now is gone
[Verse 2]
G
Fertile Mrs Moore

      D
Had thirteen kids but still looked good

       C                   G
Til' her ol' man jumped leave on a ship

    G
She never read a book

        D
But by Christ she understood

         C          D              G
That the meanin' of life starts in bed
[Chorus]
         D    G
So go and bow your head and weep

For your world won't change while you sleep

Yeah go and bow your head and weep

For the summer that was lost now is gone

C  D G
Yeah the summer that was lost now is gone

Killer Kilbain

        D
Beat me senseless everyday

            C                            G
I hope that bastard is beneath a head of stone

           G
Where I'll dance upon his grave

            D
For all the madness I now crave

          C          D                  G
While the scars that remain are still a curse

G
Stuck on limbo bridge

      D
Where below me ol' Nick grins

Then laughs through the chaos of it all

        D
Spins a jig to my despair

         C           D      G

               C         D    G
Yeah he can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
