The Smiths – Cemetry Gates (Guitar)

G
  A dreaded sunny day

                              C
So I meet you at the cemetery gates

C         D              Em     D C  D
Keats and Yeats are on your side

G
  A dreaded sunny day

                              C
So I meet you at the cemetery gates

C         D              Em     D C
Keats and Yeats are on your side

 D   C   D        G
While Wilde is on mine

G                                           C
  So we go inside and we gravely read the stones

          C                 D
All those people, all those lives

              Em  D C  D
Where are they now?

      G
With loves and hates

                       C
And passions just like mine

          C
They were born

               D
And then they lived

              Em  D C
And then they died

         D C    D
Seems so unfair

           G
I want to cry

               Bm
You say: "Ere thrice the sun done

           G
Salutation to the dawn"

        Bm                         G
And you claim these words as your own

    C                         D
But I've read well, and I've heard them said

           Em                       F
A hundred times, maybe less, maybe more

       G
If you must write prose and poems

                                 C
The words you use should be your own

      C             D       Em  D C
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"

                D     G
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere

                     C
With a big nose, who knows

    C                D
And trips you up and laughs

         Em  D C
When you fall

         D      C      D
Who'll trip you up and laugh

         G
When you fall

              Bm                G
You say: "Ere long done do does did"

Bm                              G
Words which could only be your own

    C
And then produce the text

       D
From whence was ripped

            Em       F
Some dizzy whore, 1804

          G
A dreaded sunny day

                               C
And I meet you at the cemetery gates

     C         D             Em     D C
Oh, Keats and Yeats are on your side

D         G
A dreaded sunny day

                               C
And I meet you at the cemetery gates

C         D              Em      D    C        D
Keats and Yeats are on your side, but you lose

       C           D           G
'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine
