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