Vicar In A Tutu
Tom: E
E
I was minding my business lifting some lead off
E
The roof of the Holy Name Church
E
It was worthwhile living a laughable life
E
Just to set my eyes on a blistering sight
C#m
Of a vicar in a tutu
He~s not strange
A B
He just wants to live his life this way
E
A scanty bit of a thing with a decorative ring
E
That wouldn~t cover the head of a child
E
As Rose collects the money in the cannister
E
Who comes sliding down the banister
C#m
The vicar in a tutu
He~s not strange
A B
He just wants to live his life this way
E
The monkish monsignor with a head full of plaster
E
Said, -my man, get your vile soul dry-cleaned-
E
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
E
As natural as rain he dances again
C#m
Vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
A B
Oh yeah...
E E E E
C#m
Vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
A B
Oh yeah...
E
The next day in the pulpit with freedom and ease
E
Combating ignorance, dust and disease
E
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
E
As natural as raihe dances again and again and again
C#m
And the fabric of a tutu
Any man could get used to
A B
And I am a living sign
C#m A B
I~m a living sign....
C#m A B
I~m a living sign....

Cemetery Gates

Intro: C D G Gmaj7

C D G Gmaj7
C D G Gmaj7
G
A dreaded sunny day
C
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
D Em D C
Keats and Yeats are on your side
G
A dreaded sunny day
C
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
D Em D C
Keats and Yeats are on your side
D G
While Wilde is on mine
G C
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
D
All those people all those lives
Em D C
Where are they now?
G
With loves, with hates
C
And passions just like mine
They were born
D
And then they lived
Em D C
And then they died
Which seems so unfair
D G
And I want to cry
Bm
You say: "ere thrice the sun hath door
G
Salutation to the dawn"
Bm G
And you claim these words as your own
C D
But I'm well read, have heard them said
Em C
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
G
If you must write prose and poems
C
The words you use should be your own
D Em D C
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
G
There's always someone, somwhere
C
With a big nose, who knows
D
And who trips you up and laughs
Em D C
When you fall
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
You then produce the text
D
From whence was ripped
Em C
(some dizzy whore, 1804)
G
A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're happy
C
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
D Em D C
Keats and Yeats are on your side
G
A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're wanted
C
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
D Em D C
Keats and Yeats are on your side - but you lose
D G
While Wilde is on mine
