Intro
A# F Cm D#sus2/G
[Verse 1]
A# F
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Cm D#sus2/G
Ay a man who got even with God
A# F
Sat in hyperactive London, School Central Station
Cm D#sus2/G
The city began sleeping like a dog
A# F
Then a tramp with one-eye placed his hand on my thigh
Cm D#sus2/G
I said "Hold it, pick a window, you're leavin'.
A# F
"Oh, but forgive me," he said, "I was a-found in my pride."
Cm D#sus2/G
He must have thought I was somebody else
[Chorus 1]
A# F Cm D#sus2/G
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
A# F Cm D#sus2/G
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
A#
I am the prodigal son
F Cm D#sus2/G
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
A#
And I give all I have
F
I will give all I have
Cm D#sus2/G
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rains
[Verse 2]
A# F
On a street you've never heard of, there's a wooden piano
Cm D#sus2/G
On its last legs in a last chance saloon
A# F
It is manned by a drunkard, who is dripping with poetry
Cm D#sus2/G
Sitting stupefied, nailed to the stool
A# F
The man catches my gaze and produces this page
Cm D#sus2/G
From his waistcoat with a slipped disk smile
A# F
"Look boy, here is my last known correspondence with Christ.
Cm D#sus2/G
I tried to read it, but my glasses were filthy."
[Chorus 2]
A# F Cm D#sus2/G
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
A# F Cm D#sus2/G
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
A#
I am the prodigal son
F Cm D#sus2/G
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
A#
And I give all I have
F
I will give all I have
Cm D#sus2/G
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rain
D#sus2/G
Oh, aye
[Verse 3]
A#
Past the government housing
F
Right off Donallson Road
Cm D#sus2/G
Open collars, open house
A# F
They swap anorexic lyrics for pyrotechnic rhymes
Cm D#sus2/G
As car lights knife their way through the dark
A#
And this feeling persists
F Cm D#sus2/G
We as people exist in a state of anticipation
A#
You know it comes at a cost
F
Or so the great unwashed have informed me
Cm D#sus2/G
And I tend to believe them these days
[Chorus 3]
A# F Cm D#sus2/G
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
A# F Cm D#sus2/G
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
A#
I am the prodigal son
F Cm D#sus2/G
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
A#
And I give all I have
F
I will give all I have
Cm
I will give all I have
D#sus2/G
I will give all I have
A#
Yeah, I wanna give all I have
F
I will give all I have
Cm
I will give all I have
D#sus2/G
I will give all I have
A#
I will give all I have
F
I will give all I have
Cm D#sus2/G
Strip me bare, have me washed by the rains
D#sus2/G
There's something freeing about it anyway
[Outro]
A# F Cm D#sus2/G
A# F
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Cm
Ay a man who got even with God
