Reflections of the Marionette                  (Two Gallants)

Intro: 2x F#m A E B

1.
F#m
call the dogs and sound the horns
     A
the city key of where i?s born
          E                             B
has been stolen by someone I thought I knew
    F#m
she blew in with some angel dust
      A
from southern state where love is lust
       E                                        B
and I hope she?s gone by the time this song is through
    E                             B
but out among the passers by she wets her lips sweats her eyes
C#m                                 B
baits her tongue with pity for her prey
A                           E
she transcends the avenue while she smiles at me she winks to you
   B                                A
I guess I?ll take my place in yesterday


Refrain:
A                   E                           A
and darlin' I cant wait for you to leave this town
                       E                          B
you just got here too late and no one wants you ?round
                    A                          E
with one foot on my back and the other on the rail
                         B                           E
I don?t want to see you fall I just want to see you fail


2.
         F#m
well the night is sweet the night?s divine
    A
it stains your teeth with blood red wine
     E                               B
and leaves you lying in your enemy?s arms
     F#m
and while you mumble down the hall
 A
something ?bout a skin made wall
     E                                  B
you find you?re just a sucker for her charms
            E                          B
?cause the vanity that cakes her face sucks you into death?s embrace
    C#m                               B
you feel your sense of self just fade away
A                                   E
see you?re just a one man show and once you?re done its time to go
B                                     A
hear some restless footsteps down the way

Refrain:
A                   E                           A
and darlin' I cant wait for you to leave this town
                       E                          B
you just got here too late and no one wants you ?round
                    A                          E
with one foot on my back and the other on the rail
                         B                           E
I don?t want to see you fall I just want to see you fail

Bridge: E A E B 2x

         F#m
now the youth protests the failing light
          A
with his shirt sleeves rolled in the humid night
    E                                 B
he wonders where it was that he went wrong
    F#m
and in denial while he ascends
        A
to her lofty room where all dreams end
   E                                    B
he watches while his footsteps lead him on
E
but his turn comes the next in line
    B
the well worn steps he slowly climbs
   C#m                              B
to find her lying meat-hooks on display
    A
and in the streets the sirens sing
      E
what word they tell what news they bring
    B                              A
the puppet in his cuffs of string obeys


Refrain:
                    E                           A
and darlin' I cant wait for you to leave this town
                       E                          B
you just got here too late and no one wants you ?round
                    A                          E
with one foot on my back and the other on the rail
                         B                           E
I don?t want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
                         B                           E
I don?t want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
