Intro
F C Gm A#sus2/D
[Verse 1]
F C
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Gm A#sus2/D
Ay a man who got even with God
F C
Sat in hyperactive London, School Central Station
Gm A#sus2/D
The city began sleeping like a dog
F C
Then a tramp with one-eye placed his hand on my thigh
Gm A#sus2/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."
Gm A#sus2/D
He must have thought I was somebody else
[Chorus 1]
F C Gm A#sus2/D
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
F C Gm A#sus2/D
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
F
I am the prodigal son
C Gm A#sus2/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
Gm A#sus2/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
Gm A#sus2/D
On its last legs in a last chance saloon
F C
It is manned by a drunkard, who is dripping with poetry
Gm A#sus2/D
Sitting stupefied, nailed to the stool
F C
The man catches my gaze and produces this page
Gm A#sus2/D
From his waistcoat with a slipped disk smile
F C
"Look boy, here is my last known correspondence with Christ.
Gm A#sus2/D
I tried to read it, but my glasses were filthy."
[Chorus 2]
F C Gm A#sus2/D
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
F C Gm A#sus2/D
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
F
I am the prodigal son
C Gm A#sus2/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
Gm A#sus2/D
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rain
A#sus2/D
Oh, aye
[Verse 3]
F
Past the government housing
C
Right off Donallson Road
Gm A#sus2/D
Open collars, open house
F C
They swap anorexic lyrics for pyrotechnic rhymes
Gm A#sus2/D
As car lights knife their way through the dark
F
And this feeling persists
C Gm A#sus2/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
Gm A#sus2/D
And I tend to believe them these days
[Chorus 3]
F C Gm A#sus2/D
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
F C Gm A#sus2/D
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
F
I am the prodigal son
C Gm A#sus2/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
Gm
I will give all I have
A#sus2/D
I will give all I have
F
Yeah, I wanna give all I have
C
I will give all I have
Gm
I will give all I have
A#sus2/D
I will give all I have
F
I will give all I have
C
I will give all I have
Gm A#sus2/D
Strip me bare, have me washed by the rains
A#sus2/D
There's something freeing about it anyway
[Outro]
F C Gm A#sus2/D
F C
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Gm
Ay a man who got even with God
