B G#m
This graveyard hides a million secrets,
B G#m
And the trees know more than they can tell.
B E
The ghosts of the saints and the scholars will haunt you,
F# B
In heaven and in hell.
B G#m
Rattled by the glimmer man, the boogie man, the holy man,
B G#m
And livin' in the shadows, in the shadows of a gunman.
B E
Rattled like the coppers in your greasy till,
F# B
Rattled until time stood still.
B G#m
Look over your shoulder, hear the school bell ring,
B G#m
Another day of made-to-measure history.
B E
I don't care if your heroes have wings,
F# B
Your terrible beauty has been torn.
[Chorus]
G#m F# E F#
Faithful departed, we fickle hearted,
E D# B F#
As you are now so once were we.
G#m F# E F#
Faithful departed, we the meek hearted,
E D# C# F#
With graces imparting bring flowers to thee.
B G#m
The girls in the kips proclaim their love for you
B G#m
When you stumbled in they knew you had a shilling or two.
B E
They cursed you on Sundays and holy days of abstinence,
F# B
When you all stayed away.
B G#m
When you slept there a naked bulb hid your shame,
B G#m
Your shadows on the wall, they took all the blame.
B E
The Sacred Heart's picture, compassion in his eyes,
F# B
Drowned out the river of sighs.
B G#m
Let the grass grow green over the brewery tonight,
B G#m
It'll never come between the darkness and the light.
B E
There is no pain that can't be eased,
F# B
By the devil's holy water and the rosary beads.
[Chorus]
G#m F# E F#
Faithful departed, we fickle hearted,
E D# B F#
As you are now so once were we.
G#m F# E F#
Faithful departed, we the meek hearted,
E D# C# F#
With graces imparting bring flowers to thee.
B G#m
You're a history book I never could write,
B G#m
Poetry in paralysis, too deep to recite.
B E
Dress yourself, bless yourself, you've won the fight,
F# B
We're gonna celebrate the night.
B G#m
We'll even climb the pillar like you always meant to,
B G#m
Watch the sun rise over the strand.
B E
Close your eyes and we'll pretend,
F# B
It could somehow be the same again.
B G#m
I'll bury you upright so the sun doesn't blind you.
B G#m
You won't have to gaze at the rain and the stars.
B E
Sleep and dream of chapels and bars,
F# B
And whiskey in the jar.
[Chorus]
G#m F# E F#
Faithful departed, look what you've started;
E D# B F#
An underdog's wounds aren't so easy to mend.
G#m F# E F#
Faithful departed, there's no broken hearted,
E D# C# F#
And no more tristesse in your world without end.
