Intro: A Bm G D 4x

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


A (x02220@1)     Bm (x24432@1)         G (320003@1)        DElegant (xx0232@1)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


A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)    AToday (x02220@1)is for you
             D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)  
They laid it out for you
AFor (x02220@1)you
              D (xx0232@1)                     G (320003@1)                     AThere (x02220@1)will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
         D (xx0232@1)                G (320003@1)               ABut (x02220@1)this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too

A (x02220@1)        Bm (x24432@1)      G (320003@1)        DAll (xx0232@1)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

A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)    AToday (x02220@1)is for you
             D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)  
They laid it out for you
AFor (x02220@1)you
              D (xx0232@1)                     G (320003@1)                     AThere (x02220@1)will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
         D (xx0232@1)                G (320003@1)               ABut (x02220@1)this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too
