VERSE Am D Freedom for the scape goat, let him rot in jail Am D Gloomy eyes, just pissed his heart like crucifixion nails Am Bm/A Shake his fists and raise his beam, he never stood a chance Am G Bb/F F E7 Am When the angry red mob on Fleet Street you turned your eyes to friends

VERSE Am D Humble thought from Dublin chased across the waves Am D Your body still sharp enough to slice through every page Am Bm/A Destitute and beaten by the system of the crown Am G Bb/F F E7 Am The bitter pill you swallowed take the sweet of going down
Dm E7 Am And looking back with a great indifference Dm E7 Am Looking back at the lime stone walls Bb Am Thinking how beauty deceived you Dm E7sus E7 Knowing how the fools are fought

VERSE Am D A golden boy in velvet landed in New York Am D The past was so seductive when they paid to hear you talk Am Bm/A Baccarat and champagne flutes, tobacco from Virginia Am G Bb/F F E7 Am Long before the lords and Lord granted Oscar Wilde a sinner
Dm E7 Am Looking back on a cold, bleak winter Dm E7 Am Looking back on those long, dark days Bb Am Set like the head of Joan the Baptist Dm E7sus E7 In the other sour May

BREAKDOWN Am Don't turn around if you watch out screaming D Don't cry out loud, you never know who's listening F C G7 You've seen it all the exiled Unforgiven Bb F Am From the stately homes of England to her prisons Am Looking back at the hard life D Looking back at the wretched war F C G7 Taken back there for my savior Bb F Am Strange to think I'll miss them all Bb F Am Strange to thing I'll miss them all
Dm E7 Am And looking back with a great indifference Dm E7 Am Looking back at the lime stone walls Bb Am Thinking how beauty deceived you Dm E7sus E7 Knowing how the fools are fought
