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