Meet James Ensor
G               C    D
Belgium's famous painter
G              Em       C
Dig him up and shake his hand
Em     D       G
Appreciate the man

Verse 1:
   C               D             Bm              Em
Before there were junk stores, before there was junk
    Bm             Em             Am           D
He lived with his mother and the torments of Christ
    C               D        Bm             Em
The world was transformed; a crowd gathered round
Bm                  Em        Am                D
Pressed against his window so they could be the first

Chorus:
To meet James Ensor
Belgium's famous painter
Raise a glass and sit and stare
Understand the man

Verse 2:
He lost all his friends; he didn't need his friends
He lived with his mother and repeated himself
The world has forgotten; the world moved along
The crowd at his window went back to their homes

Chorus:
Meet James Ensor
Meet James Ensor
Belgium's famous painter
Dig him up and shake his hand
Appreciate the man
