Robyn Hitchcock - Ye Sleeping Knights Of Jesus Chords

[Intro]
N.C.
OK, one, two, three, four
 
C
 
[Chorus]
C                                   Dm
I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus
                           G7
Gazing out across the open sea
C                                   F
I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus
G                                C
And they look extremely tired to me
 
[Verse 1]
F                          C
Dying of starvation in the gutter (in the gutter)
Am                               F
That is all the future holds for me (holds for me)
F F# G                   F  F#  G
  Or alcoholic poisoning in the toilet of my choice
         F                            G
  That's all there is as far as I can see
 
[Verse 2]
F                                C
Fried to death in seconds by the Russians (by the Russians)
   Am                             F
Or if you're lucky, just a sudden stroke (a sudden stroke)
F F# G                            F  F#   G
  A  lingering death from fallout As your teeth and hair fall out
G F#  F                                G
  And certain death from cancer if you smoke
 
[Chorus]
    C                                   Dm
But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus
                           G7
Gazing out across the open sea
C                                   F
I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus
G                                C
And they look extremely tired to me
 
[Bridge]
F                                      C
Put your faith in God, He won't expect you
Am                                     F
  Put your faith in death because it's free
F F# G                       F F#  G
  If you believe in nothing, honey it believes in you
      F                                    G
  For God's sake, don't waste any faith on me
 
F                                C
When he comes to judge us in his glory (in his glory)
Am                               F
Then we'll see how old a man can get (man can get)
F F# G                       F  F#    G
  He must be feeling ancient up there on the rim of space
      F                                     G
  Two thousand years and he ain't been back yet
 
[Chorus]
C                                       Dm
But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus
                                                      G7
(Rub their eyes) Rub their eyes and gape at what they see
C                                   F
I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus
                         G                                      C
(And it looks as though) And it looks as though they've noticed me
G                                      C   C7
And it looks as though they've noticed me
