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