D G A D Oh where is your inflammatory writ G A D Your text that would inside a light be lit
Our music deserving devotion unswerving
Cried do I deserve her with unflagging fervour
G A D Well no we do not if we cannot get over it GMaj7 Bm But what's it mean when suddenly we're spent tell me true GMaj7 Bm Ambition came and reared it's head and went far from you GMaj7 Even molluscs have weddings though solemn and leaden Bm But you dirge for the dead and take no jam on your bread D G A D Just a supper of salt and a waltz through your empty bed F A And all at once it came to me Bb F And I wrote in hunch til 4:30 Cm Gm A D But that vestal light it burns out with the night G7 Dm In spite of all the time that we spent on it Bb F On one bedraggled ghost of a sonnet G D While outside the wild boars root Bm A Without bending a bough underfoot C G Oh it breaks my heart I don't know how they do it
So don't ask me
D G A D And as for my inflammatory writ G A D I wrote it and I was not inflamed one bit GMaj7 Advice from the master derailed that disaster Bm He said hand that pen over to me poetaster GMaj7 While 'cross the great plains keening lovely and awful Bm You ulate the lost great American novels D G A D An unlawful lot left to stutter and freeze floodlit C G A D But at least they didn't run to their undying credit
