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