Threnody Chords by Two Gallants These are just the basic chords. Get the melody involved throughout the song. Capo: 2 nd fret Intro: Am Am gather 'round, you wounded people F shadows fall upon the steeple, Am G soon shall come the closing of, F G the closing of the gates Am for there is a word of plague among us F curse the one whose poison stung us, C Am all along the alleyways G F C G the satyrs wait their fate Am but who's to blame when all are guilty F morals stained & conscience filthy Am G abreast your idol replicas F G your replicas of lust, Am in the sky I hear the threshing F dare to watch your lord undressing C Am while you beg forgiveness, G F you feed on his disgust - C G F C G but if perhaps the salt might stain your skin C G F C G and if perhaps the smoke might weep your eyes C G C listen while the threnodies begin Am G F C G know no one in here gets out alive. Am but let your frailty not deceive you F a little pinprick, rest relieves you, Am G and dream of all the days that are, F G the years that are to come - Am for you will dance & you'll be nimble F pirouettes upon a thimble C Am and I will be beside you G F lest I lose you once again. C G F C G but if perhaps my sorrows all are show Am G F C G and I should find a crack among the gates, C G C G guilt shall follow me where'er I go Am G F though I try I know I can't escape Am and when you're gone the earth will crumble F I will try but I will stumble Am G and all through these city streets F G my robes shall drag the ground Am hear the children swing with sorrow, F yesterday was once tomorrow C Am no more I'll be troubled G F by the troubles of this world C G F C G but if I lose my step along the way C G F and if the speech of victim fills my throat C Am out beyond the cliffs that shape the day G it's there I?ll wander, there I?ll stray F G it's there I?ll look for you when all my trials are done C Am I feign sleep to save my breath, G this love is loss, this life is theft, F G and all that's left is some vain need to carry on C Am and though I fear the tightening of the skies G against the dawn I'll watch you rise F G oh lord, the company I keep within my head C Am the scent of flesh might tease the nose G it claims the calm, it clings the clothes could that be you, my love? F G 2* C Am G G C Am G F G your dust upon the wind?
