Capo 3rd fret.
Pamphleteer
Intro:
G - C - G
C - G - D
G - D - E - D - C
G C G
I'm standing on this corner.
C G D
Can't get their attention.
G D E D C
Facing rush hour faces turned around.
G C G
I clutch my stack of paper
C G D
press one to a chest then
G D E D C
watch it swoop and stutter to the ground.
G C G
I'm weary with right-angles
C G D
abbreviated daylight
G D E D C
and waiting for a winter to be done.
G C G
Why do I still see you
C G D
in every mirrored window
G D E D C
in all that I could never overcome?
C G
How I don't know what I should do
C G
with my hands when I talk to you.
C G
How you don't know where you should look
D C G
so you look at my hands.
C G
How movements rise and then dissolve
C G
melted by our shallow breath.
C G
How causes dance away from me.
D Am C D G
I am your pamphleteer.
G C G
I walk this room in time to
C G D
the beat of the Gestetner
G D E D C
contemplate my next communique.
G C G
The rhetoric and treason
C G D
of saying that I'll miss you
G D E D C
Of saying "Hey, well maybe you should stay."
C G C
Sing "Oh what force on earth could be weaker than the
G C
feeble strength of one"
G D Am G
like me remembering the way it could have been.
C G
Help me with this barricade
C G
No surrender. No defeat.
C G
A spectre's haunting Albert Street.
D Am C D G
I am your pamphleteer.
