VERSE
Am                                         D
Freedom for the scape goat, let him rot in jail
Am                                                    D
Gloomy eyes, just p**sed his heart like crucifixion nails
Am                                     Bm/A      
Shake his fists and raise his beam, he never stood a chance
         Am       G       Bb/F  F          E7                  Am
When the angry red mob on Fleet Street you turned your eyes to friends

INSTRUMENTAL
   Am                Dm/A               Am                Dm/A

VERSE
Am                                             D
Humble thought from Dublin chased across the waves
Am                                                   D
Your body still sharp enough to slice through every page
Am                          Bm/A
Destitute and beaten by the system of the crown
    Am     G        Bb/F F             E7             Am
The bitter pill you swallowed take the sweet of going down

CHORUS
    Dm                   E7        Am
And looking back with a great indifference
Dm                  E7         Am
Looking back at the lime stone walls
Bb                    Am
Thinking how beauty deceived you
Dm                        E7sus E7
Knowing how the fools are fought

   Am                Dm/A               Am                Dm/A

VERSE
  Am                   D
A golden boy in velvet landed in New York
    Am                                                D
The past was so seductive when they paid to hear you talk
Am                               Bm/A
Baccarat and champagne flutes, tobacco from Virginia
Am     G        Bb/F      F            E7            Am
Long before the lords and Lord granted Oscar Wilde a sinner

CHORUS
Dm                E7            Am
Looking back on a cold, bleak winter
Dm                    E7         Am
Looking back on those long, dark days
Bb                            Am
Set like the head of Joan the Baptist
Dm                E7sus E7
In the other sour May

   Am                Dm/A               Am                Dm/A

BREAKDOWN
Am
Don't turn around if you watch out screaming
D
Don't cry out loud, you never know who's listening
        F              C           G7
You've seen it all the exiled Unforgiven
         Bb               F              Am
From the stately homes of England to her prisons
Am
Looking back at the hard life
D
Looking back at the wretched war
F          C            G7
Taken back there for my savior
Bb                    F         Am
Strange to think I'll miss them all
Bb                    F         Am
Strange to thing I'll miss them all

CHORUS
    Dm                   E7        Am
And looking back with a great indifference
Dm                  E7         Am
Looking back at the lime stone walls
Bb                    Am
Thinking how beauty deceived you
Dm                        E7sus E7
Knowing how the fools are fought
