Cemetry Gates Chords

(ver. 1)
Smiths
[Intro]
C | D G | C | D G | C | D G | C D G
 
[Chorus]
G5  G*
   A dreaded sunny day
Gsus2 G*             Gsus2    C*
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
          D*                Em   D C D
Keats and Yeats are on your side
G5  G*
   A dreaded sunny day
Gsus2 G*             Gsus2    C*
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
          D*                Em   D C
Keats and Yeats are on your side
        D*           G
While Wilde is on mine
 
[Verse 1]
G5   G*
   So we go inside
Gsus2 G*            Gsus2    C*
and we gravely read the stones
                             D*
All those people, all those lives
                  Em   D C D
Where are they now?
G5   G*
    With loves, and hates
Gsus2 G*            Gsus2    C*
And passions just like mine
 
They were born
                D*
And then they lived
                Em   D C
And then they died
       D
Which seems so unfair
            G
I want to cry
        Bm
You say "Ere trice the sun done
     G
salutation to the dawn"
       Bm                           G
And you claim these words as your own
     C                                D
But I'm well read, I've heard them said
  Em                                  Am7
A hundred times (Maybe less, maybe more)
 
[Verse 2]
G5             G*
So if you must write prose and poems
Gsus2   G*                     Gsus2  C*
The words you use should be on your own
                   D*         Em  D C D
Don't plagiarise or take on loan
G5           G*
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
Gsus2 G          Gsus2 C*
 With a big nose who knows
                       D*              Em  D C
And who trips you and laughs when you fall
                       D
Who'll trip you up and laugh
          G
When you fall
          Bm                    G
You say "Ere long done do does did"
Bm                              G
Words that could only be your own
      C
And then produce the text
      D
From whence it was ripped
      Em              Am7
(Some dizzy whore, 1804)
 
[Chorus]
            G5
A dreaded sunny day
        G*
So let's go where we're happy
Gsus2 G*                Gsus2    C*
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
           D*                  Em  D C D
Keats and Yeats are on your side
             G5
A dreaded sunny day
        G*
So let's go where we wanted
Gsus2 G*                Gsus2    C*
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
           D*                 Em
Keats and Yeats are on your side
D   C
But you lose
         D
'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine
 
[Outro]
