Peter Gabriel - The Court Chords

[Intro]
G D Em
Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
  You put your hand up, you make your bid
Em
  You got your pictures all laid out in the grid
Em
  Look in the garden in the surface ground
Em
  Buried everything that you never want found
 
 
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise
                      Em
While the pillars all fall
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
  We got the healer and the birthday cake
Em
  We got the real thing and we got the fake
Em
  You got the ladder but where is the snake?
Em
  How my body begins to wake
 
 
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise
                      Em
While the pillars all fall
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em
  You got the money goin' up your nose
Em
  You got the data, don't control where it goes
Em
  But you have left it getting down to the bone
Em
  You’ve all your memories on your mobile phone
 
 
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise
                      Em
While the pillars all fall
 
 
[Bridge]
G            Bm
 Out of this sentence
Bm                 F#
  The ball and the claw
G                 Bm
 And all these pronouncements
      Bm                   F#
I can make up the voice of law
G           Bm
 Out in the market
        Bm           F#
All our lives are on sale
        G                  Bm
And the balls are drifting further apart
  F#                F# F#m
Recovery cannot fail
 
 
[Verse 5]
        Em
Got the things you need and they’re all in place
        Em
Got the big shot barrister to keep my case
       Em
Got my baby throwin’ up on a chocolate milk
    Em
The black cat judge reaches for his silk
 
 
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise
                      Em
While the pillars all fall
 
 
[Verse 6]
Em
  We lost the line between the good and bad
Em
  We lost the line between the sane and the mad
Em
  Used to draw the line across the writing pad
Em
  The line of conscience that we never have had
 
 
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise
                      Em
While the pillars all fall

[Outro]
Em            D
  So many are reaching for it
A                 G
 So many reaching out for it
Em              D             A
 (You know that justice is blind)
Em            D
  So many are reaching for it
A                 G
 So many reaching out for it
Em              D             A
 (You know that justice is blind)
Em                D
  So many looking out for it
A                G
 So many looking out for it
Em              D             A
 (You know that justice is blind)
