Intro
D A Em Gsus2/B
[Verse 1]
D A
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Em Gsus2/B
Ay a man who got even with God
D A
Sat in hyperactive London, School Central Station
Em Gsus2/B
The city began sleeping like a dog
D A
Then a tramp with one-eye placed his hand on my thigh
Em Gsus2/B
I said "Hold it, pick a window, you're leavin'.
D A
"Oh, but forgive me," he said, "I was a-found in my pride."
Em Gsus2/B
He must have thought I was somebody else
[Chorus 1]
D A Em Gsus2/B
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
D A Em Gsus2/B
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
D
I am the prodigal son
A Em Gsus2/B
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
D
And I give all I have
A
I will give all I have
Em Gsus2/B
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rains
[Verse 2]
D A
On a street you've never heard of, there's a wooden piano
Em Gsus2/B
On its last legs in a last chance saloon
D A
It is manned by a drunkard, who is dripping with poetry
Em Gsus2/B
Sitting stupefied, nailed to the stool
D A
The man catches my gaze and produces this page
Em Gsus2/B
From his waistcoat with a slipped disk smile
D A
"Look boy, here is my last known correspondence with Christ.
Em Gsus2/B
I tried to read it, but my glasses were filthy."
[Chorus 2]
D A Em Gsus2/B
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
D A Em Gsus2/B
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
D
I am the prodigal son
A Em Gsus2/B
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
D
And I give all I have
A
I will give all I have
Em Gsus2/B
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rain
Gsus2/B
Oh, aye
[Verse 3]
D
Past the government housing
A
Right off Donallson Road
Em Gsus2/B
Open collars, open house
D A
They swap anorexic lyrics for pyrotechnic rhymes
Em Gsus2/B
As car lights knife their way through the dark
D
And this feeling persists
A Em Gsus2/B
We as people exist in a state of anticipation
D
You know it comes at a cost
A
Or so the great unwashed have informed me
Em Gsus2/B
And I tend to believe them these days
[Chorus 3]
D A Em Gsus2/B
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
D A Em Gsus2/B
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
D
I am the prodigal son
A Em Gsus2/B
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
D
And I give all I have
A
I will give all I have
Em
I will give all I have
Gsus2/B
I will give all I have
D
Yeah, I wanna give all I have
A
I will give all I have
Em
I will give all I have
Gsus2/B
I will give all I have
D
I will give all I have
A
I will give all I have
Em Gsus2/B
Strip me bare, have me washed by the rains
Gsus2/B
There's something freeing about it anyway
[Outro]
D A Em Gsus2/B
D A
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Em
Ay a man who got even with God
