[Verse 1]
               Fm
I’ve seen your fairground hair, your seaside eyes

      Gm                                    Fm
Your vampire tooth, your little truth, your tiny lies

             Fm
I know your trembling hand, your guilty prize

      Gm                                      Fm
Your sleeping limbs, your foreign hymns, your midnight cries

            Ab       Db        Eb    Ab
So dry your eyes and turn your head away

             Db      Eb      Cm
Now there’s nothing more to say

            Eb   Bb
Now you’re gone away
[Verse 2]
            Fm
I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand

        Gm
Your monkey claw, your monkey paw

             Fm
And your monkey hand

                Fm
I’ve seen your trick of blood, your trap of fire

       Gm
Your ancient wound, your scarlet moon

          Fm
And your jailhouse smile
[Chorus]
            Ab       Db        Eb    Ab
So dry your eyes and turn your head away

             Db      Eb      Cm
Now there’s nothing more to say

            Eb   Bb
Now you’re gone away
Fm Gm [Chorus]
            Ab       Db        Eb    Ab
So dry your eyes and turn your head away

             Db      Eb      Cm
Now there’s nothing more to say

            Eb   Bb
Now you’re gone away
[Verse 3]
                Fm
I’ll miss your urchin smile, your orphan tears

     Gm
Your shining prize, your tiny cries

     Fm
Your little fears

                   Fm
And I’ll miss your fairground hair, your seaside eyes

     Gm                                        Fm
Your little truth and your vampire tooth,
 your tiny lies
[Chorus]
            Ab       Db        Eb    Ab
So dry your eyes and turn your head away

             Db      Eb      Cm
Now there’s nothing more to say

            Eb   Bb
Now you’re gone away
