Intro 4x: A5 B5 G5 D5

( A5       B5         G5             D5 )
Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall

( A5       B5           G5          D5 )
Elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall

A5            D5   G5 A5
Today is for you
             D5           G5
They laid it out for you
A5
For you
              D5                       G5                       A5
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
         D5                  G5                 A5
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too

( A5          B5        G5          D5 )
All of the cards and all of the time it took
Soon it's all lines of red in a leather book
Begging you to wait for a minute by the door
Your creeping feet where they've never been before

A5            D5   G5 A5
Today is for you
             D5           G5
They laid it out for you
A5
For you
              D5                       G5                       A5
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
         D5                  G5                 A5
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too
