   At last the crimson chord cas - cades,
                       Bm/F#   G
To shower dry cordials with - in,
                                A7
Too late to leap the chocolate gate...

   Pale foun - tains fizz - ing  forth pink  gin!

   While destiny prepares to fly,
                          Bm/F# G
The farmyard chorus sings it's wake,
                          A7
Upstanding anthem to the sky...

   Too  soon    to    re  - al - ise  their fate...

And watch madeira's fare - well drink,
                         A7
Note his reaction, acid sharp, ...should make the cognoscenti think!
