Intro
F# C# G#m Bsus2/D#
[Verse 1]
F# C#
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
G#m Bsus2/D#
Ay a man who got even with God
F# C#
Sat in hyperactive London, School Central Station
G#m Bsus2/D#
The city began sleeping like a dog
F# C#
Then a tramp with one-eye placed his hand on my thigh
G#m Bsus2/D#
I said "Hold it, pick a window, you're leavin'.
F# C#
"Oh, but forgive me," he said, "I was a-found in my pride."
G#m Bsus2/D#
He must have thought I was somebody else
[Chorus 1]
F# C# G#m Bsus2/D#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
F# C# G#m Bsus2/D#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
F#
I am the prodigal son
C# G#m Bsus2/D#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
F#
And I give all I have
C#
I will give all I have
G#m Bsus2/D#
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rains
[Verse 2]
F# C#
On a street you've never heard of, there's a wooden piano
G#m Bsus2/D#
On its last legs in a last chance saloon
F# C#
It is manned by a drunkard, who is dripping with poetry
G#m Bsus2/D#
Sitting stupefied, nailed to the stool
F# C#
The man catches my gaze and produces this page
G#m Bsus2/D#
From his waistcoat with a slipped disk smile
F# C#
"Look boy, here is my last known correspondence with Christ.
G#m Bsus2/D#
I tried to read it, but my glasses were filthy."
[Chorus 2]
F# C# G#m Bsus2/D#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
F# C# G#m Bsus2/D#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
F#
I am the prodigal son
C# G#m Bsus2/D#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
F#
And I give all I have
C#
I will give all I have
G#m Bsus2/D#
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rain
Bsus2/D#
Oh, aye
[Verse 3]
F#
Past the government housing
C#
Right off Donallson Road
G#m Bsus2/D#
Open collars, open house
F# C#
They swap anorexic lyrics for pyrotechnic rhymes
G#m Bsus2/D#
As car lights knife their way through the dark
F#
And this feeling persists
C# G#m Bsus2/D#
We as people exist in a state of anticipation
F#
You know it comes at a cost
C#
Or so the great unwashed have informed me
G#m Bsus2/D#
And I tend to believe them these days
[Chorus 3]
F# C# G#m Bsus2/D#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
F# C# G#m Bsus2/D#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
F#
I am the prodigal son
C# G#m Bsus2/D#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
F#
And I give all I have
C#
I will give all I have
G#m
I will give all I have
Bsus2/D#
I will give all I have
F#
Yeah, I wanna give all I have
C#
I will give all I have
G#m
I will give all I have
Bsus2/D#
I will give all I have
F#
I will give all I have
C#
I will give all I have
G#m Bsus2/D#
Strip me bare, have me washed by the rains
Bsus2/D#
There's something freeing about it anyway
[Outro]
F# C# G#m Bsus2/D#
F# C#
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
G#m
Ay a man who got even with God
