ST MATTHEW - The Monkees (Michael Nesmith) [INTRO] A G A [VERSE 1]
A                                    G               A
She walks around on brass rings that never touch her feet

A                                G               A
She speaks in conversations that never are complete

D                E                F#
And looking over past things that she has never done

    Bm                               E             A
She calls herself St Matthew when she is on the run
[VERSE 2]
A                         G                A
She stoops down to gather partly shattered men

A                             G                A
And knows that when it's over it will start again

D                  E                F#
Both the times she smiled it was a portrait of the sun

    Bm                               E             A
She calls herself St Matthew when she is on the run
[CHORUS]
F#                           Bm
Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal

F#                               D            Dm            E7
But most if it is weariness from standing up trying not to kneel
[VERSE 3]
A                                  G                  A
She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead

A                                   G                  A
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said

D                  E               F#
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes

  Bm                                   E             A
A girl that's named St Matthew when she is on the run
[CHORUS]
F#                           Bm
Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal

F#                               D            Dm            E7
But most if it is weariness from standing up trying not to kneel
[VERSE 4]
A                                  G                  A
She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead

A                                   G                  A
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said

D                  E              F#
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes

  Bm                                   E             A
A girl that's named St Matthew when she is on the run
