It's pure and simple as the shepherd's song
D5
Seraphic pipes along the way in Arcady
In Arcady G5  C5  G5

Never saw I such a scene
Such maids upon such a molten green
They employ their holiday with dance and game
And things I may never name
In Arcady G5 C5 G5 G5



Chorus

              C5
You said he was your teacher
                             G5 
Taught you so true and so wise
G5                 C5
But now you know more than your teacher
              D5
I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes
In Arcady G5   C5   G5



Verse 3

So you see how twisted it becomes

See how quickly twisted it becomes

When the cat gut binds my ankles to your bedstead

That ain't love, no that ain't love 


Chorus

Said he was your teacher

Taught you so true and so wise

Now you know more than your teacher

I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes

Time together on a snakey road

Like time spent together on a snakey road

And in the clearing...

MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)
I'm going to build me a palace of bone
     D5                      E5
With wide open walls and an ebony throne

And all the broken children

From every broken home

MAIN RIFF
Can all come and live in the palace of bone

No innocent soul

E5        B5                        B5                     A5
Take a broken love song, keep it by your side
E5           B5       B5                  A5 
Never be lonely, find a place to hide 
E5        B5            B5             A5
By the west way, inside the scrubs
E5                           B5                B5         A5                  E5 
How long must we wait, for they're killing us? Killing us 

B5                F#5 
They are the loneliest
B5                 F#5
They are the loneliest
B5                   F#5
They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest
E5                B5             B5              A5 
Still 

E5              B5                B5              A5
Through my cell window, hear the loft boys sing
E5              B5    B5          A5
Come on you R's, carried on the wind 
E5                                                       B5
Every morning, I'll be singing like a caged bird who might say 
B5                                                     A5
John, Paul, George and Ringo help pass the hours away 
E5                 B5           B5                 A5
Free as a bird would I be, another dawn creeps up on me on me 
E5
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah 

B5                F#5 
They are the loneliest
B5                 F#5
They are the loneliest
B5                   F#5
They are the loneliest
B5                  F#5 
They are the loneliest

B5                                 B5                        E5                                   G5
Letters from faceless haters who'd love to see my swinging in my cell
A5         B5                                                B5
Oh I never saw a man who looked like such a wistful eye, 
         E5                                   G5           A5
as the fear of blue prisoners call the sky 

B5                F#5 
They are the loneliest
B5                 F#5
They are the loneliest
B5                   F#5
They are the loneliest

Verse: E5 , A5 , D5
Are you still talking to
All of those dead film stars
Like you used to
And are you still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes
And perfect crimes
Like you used to love

And if you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you like you asked me to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you I know you told me to
But I really don't want to

Biss: G5 , A5 , E5
I still remember all of the things you said to me
You were the man and I was Calvary
And you said, ah you said
New love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on... new love grows on trees
E5 , A5 , D5

Bridge: Ab5 , C#5 , F#5 , B5 , C5 , B5
That makes perfect nonsense to me
But the price of being free these days it?s ridiculous

Verse: E5 , A5 , D5
Are you still shaking out
All the dead wood from your bed love
Well times don't change and you're still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes for love divine
Oh no, you really don't have to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you
Oh I know you asked me to
But I really don't want to

Biss: G5 , A5 , E5
I still remember all of the things you said to me
You were the man and I was Calvary
And you said, ah you said
New love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on... new love grows on trees
E5 , A5 , D5

 Dm6(x3434x)         Bb5 aug5(xx4332)  
...once upon a time...

C7(x32310)
when the cold wind now blows,
                  Fm(133111)    Bb7(x13131)
and the cold wind now blows in my heart
         Ebm7(x11333)               
it was a summer breeze 
    Cm(x35543)                                    
and she would meet me 

F5                       Bb5       Eb5
in chinatown for opium and tea
                    C5            
and she always brought me flowers....(continue)


            Eb5               C#m6(xx2323)                A5
I see your eyes look like two marbles in your head

Come on fall into my arms.......

D5                             C?7(xx4545)
if darkness comes Then I will sing you a song 
           E5                          A5
And I will love you forever At least 'til morning comes
D5                          B5
Lady don't you fall backwards
E5          A5         D5  C?7
