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