Intro
A E Bm Dsus2/F#
[Verse 1]
A E
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Bm Dsus2/F#
Ay a man who got even with God
A E
Sat in hyperactive London, School Central Station
Bm Dsus2/F#
The city began sleeping like a dog
A E
Then a tramp with one-eye placed his hand on my thigh
Bm Dsus2/F#
I said "Hold it, pick a window, you're leavin'.
A E
"Oh, but forgive me," he said, "I was a-found in my pride."
Bm Dsus2/F#
He must have thought I was somebody else
[Chorus 1]
A E Bm Dsus2/F#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
A E Bm Dsus2/F#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
A
I am the prodigal son
E Bm Dsus2/F#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
A
And I give all I have
E
I will give all I have
Bm Dsus2/F#
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rains
[Verse 2]
A E
On a street you've never heard of, there's a wooden piano
Bm Dsus2/F#
On its last legs in a last chance saloon
A E
It is manned by a drunkard, who is dripping with poetry
Bm Dsus2/F#
Sitting stupefied, nailed to the stool
A E
The man catches my gaze and produces this page
Bm Dsus2/F#
From his waistcoat with a slipped disk smile
A E
"Look boy, here is my last known correspondence with Christ.
Bm Dsus2/F#
I tried to read it, but my glasses were filthy."
[Chorus 2]
A E Bm Dsus2/F#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
A E Bm Dsus2/F#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
A
I am the prodigal son
E Bm Dsus2/F#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
A
And I give all I have
E
I will give all I have
Bm Dsus2/F#
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rain
Dsus2/F#
Oh, aye
[Verse 3]
A
Past the government housing
E
Right off Donallson Road
Bm Dsus2/F#
Open collars, open house
A E
They swap anorexic lyrics for pyrotechnic rhymes
Bm Dsus2/F#
As car lights knife their way through the dark
A
And this feeling persists
E Bm Dsus2/F#
We as people exist in a state of anticipation
A
You know it comes at a cost
E
Or so the great unwashed have informed me
Bm Dsus2/F#
And I tend to believe them these days
[Chorus 3]
A E Bm Dsus2/F#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
A E Bm Dsus2/F#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
A
I am the prodigal son
E Bm Dsus2/F#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
A
And I give all I have
E
I will give all I have
Bm
I will give all I have
Dsus2/F#
I will give all I have
A
Yeah, I wanna give all I have
E
I will give all I have
Bm
I will give all I have
Dsus2/F#
I will give all I have
A
I will give all I have
E
I will give all I have
Bm Dsus2/F#
Strip me bare, have me washed by the rains
Dsus2/F#
There's something freeing about it anyway
[Outro]
A E Bm Dsus2/F#
A E
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Bm
Ay a man who got even with God
