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