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