Intro
B F# C#m Esus2/G#
[Verse 1]
B F#
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
C#m Esus2/G#
Ay a man who got even with God
B F#
Sat in hyperactive London, School Central Station
C#m Esus2/G#
The city began sleeping like a dog
B F#
Then a tramp with one-eye placed his hand on my thigh
C#m Esus2/G#
I said "Hold it, pick a window, you're leavin'.
B F#
"Oh, but forgive me," he said, "I was a-found in my pride."
C#m Esus2/G#
He must have thought I was somebody else
[Chorus 1]
B F# C#m Esus2/G#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
B F# C#m Esus2/G#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
B
I am the prodigal son
F# C#m Esus2/G#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
B
And I give all I have
F#
I will give all I have
C#m Esus2/G#
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rains
[Verse 2]
B F#
On a street you've never heard of, there's a wooden piano
C#m Esus2/G#
On its last legs in a last chance saloon
B F#
It is manned by a drunkard, who is dripping with poetry
C#m Esus2/G#
Sitting stupefied, nailed to the stool
B F#
The man catches my gaze and produces this page
C#m Esus2/G#
From his waistcoat with a slipped disk smile
B F#
"Look boy, here is my last known correspondence with Christ.
C#m Esus2/G#
I tried to read it, but my glasses were filthy."
[Chorus 2]
B F# C#m Esus2/G#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
B F# C#m Esus2/G#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
B
I am the prodigal son
F# C#m Esus2/G#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
B
And I give all I have
F#
I will give all I have
C#m Esus2/G#
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rain
Esus2/G#
Oh, aye
[Verse 3]
B
Past the government housing
F#
Right off Donallson Road
C#m Esus2/G#
Open collars, open house
B F#
They swap anorexic lyrics for pyrotechnic rhymes
C#m Esus2/G#
As car lights knife their way through the dark
B
And this feeling persists
F# C#m Esus2/G#
We as people exist in a state of anticipation
B
You know it comes at a cost
F#
Or so the great unwashed have informed me
C#m Esus2/G#
And I tend to believe them these days
[Chorus 3]
B F# C#m Esus2/G#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
B F# C#m Esus2/G#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
B
I am the prodigal son
F# C#m Esus2/G#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
B
And I give all I have
F#
I will give all I have
C#m
I will give all I have
Esus2/G#
I will give all I have
B
Yeah, I wanna give all I have
F#
I will give all I have
C#m
I will give all I have
Esus2/G#
I will give all I have
B
I will give all I have
F#
I will give all I have
C#m Esus2/G#
Strip me bare, have me washed by the rains
Esus2/G#
There's something freeing about it anyway
[Outro]
B F# C#m Esus2/G#
B F#
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
C#m
Ay a man who got even with God
