Intro:

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