Intro
E B F#m Asus2/C#
[Verse 1]
E B
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
F#m Asus2/C#
Ay a man who got even with God
E B
Sat in hyperactive London, School Central Station
F#m Asus2/C#
The city began sleeping like a dog
E B
Then a tramp with one-eye placed his hand on my thigh
F#m Asus2/C#
I said "Hold it, pick a window, you're leavin'.
E B
"Oh, but forgive me," he said, "I was a-found in my pride."
F#m Asus2/C#
He must have thought I was somebody else
[Chorus 1]
E B F#m Asus2/C#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
E B F#m Asus2/C#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
E
I am the prodigal son
B F#m Asus2/C#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
E
And I give all I have
B
I will give all I have
F#m Asus2/C#
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rains
[Verse 2]
E B
On a street you've never heard of, there's a wooden piano
F#m Asus2/C#
On its last legs in a last chance saloon
E B
It is manned by a drunkard, who is dripping with poetry
F#m Asus2/C#
Sitting stupefied, nailed to the stool
E B
The man catches my gaze and produces this page
F#m Asus2/C#
From his waistcoat with a slipped disk smile
E B
"Look boy, here is my last known correspondence with Christ.
F#m Asus2/C#
I tried to read it, but my glasses were filthy."
[Chorus 2]
E B F#m Asus2/C#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
E B F#m Asus2/C#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
E
I am the prodigal son
B F#m Asus2/C#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
E
And I give all I have
B
I will give all I have
F#m Asus2/C#
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rain
Asus2/C#
Oh, aye
[Verse 3]
E
Past the government housing
B
Right off Donallson Road
F#m Asus2/C#
Open collars, open house
E B
They swap anorexic lyrics for pyrotechnic rhymes
F#m Asus2/C#
As car lights knife their way through the dark
E
And this feeling persists
B F#m Asus2/C#
We as people exist in a state of anticipation
E
You know it comes at a cost
B
Or so the great unwashed have informed me
F#m Asus2/C#
And I tend to believe them these days
[Chorus 3]
E B F#m Asus2/C#
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
E B F#m Asus2/C#
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
E
I am the prodigal son
B F#m Asus2/C#
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
E
And I give all I have
B
I will give all I have
F#m
I will give all I have
Asus2/C#
I will give all I have
E
Yeah, I wanna give all I have
B
I will give all I have
F#m
I will give all I have
Asus2/C#
I will give all I have
E
I will give all I have
B
I will give all I have
F#m Asus2/C#
Strip me bare, have me washed by the rains
Asus2/C#
There's something freeing about it anyway
[Outro]
E B F#m Asus2/C#
E B
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
F#m
Ay a man who got even with God
