Intro
E A x2
[Verse 1]
E
Sitting out upon the terrace
A
Waited on by native hands
E
Watch the purple shadows spread
A
Like wings across your land
C#m G#m
And drift away into a daydream
C#m G#m
Of a young and handsome man
A E
In a miliary uniform
F#m G#m C#m
F# long time, gone time
F#m F#m/E B/D#
For the world began
[Chorus 1]
C#m C#mmaj7 C#m7 F#7
Sleeping in a twilight that is red and white and blue
A E F#m B E
The Dodo and the Dinosaur are waiting for you
E A x2
[Verse 2]
E
Great white guard, the one who needs him
A
Gone the way of Santa Claus
E
Missionary soldier boy
A
Now worn out by the wars
C#m G#m
And by the cause that you believed in
C#m G#m
When you took the black mans land
A E
For you thought that you knew better
F#m G#m C#m
In the old days, the cold days
F#m F#m/E B/D#
Before the world began
[Chorus 2]
C#m C#mmaj7 C#m7 F#7
Sleeping in a twilight that is red and white and blue
A E F#m B E
The Dodo and the Dinosaur are waiting for you
E A x2
[Verse 3]
E
Empires melt and shadows lengthen
A
Banners hang on dusty walls
E
The Master and the Mistress
A
Bring the servants call
C#m G#m
But nobody comes and so you sit there
C#m G#m
With your bible in your hand
A E
Did it really hold a rifle
F#m G#m C#m
In the past years, fast years
F#m F#m/E B/D#
Before the word began
[Chorus 3]
C#m C#mmaj7 C#m7 F#7
Sleeping in a twilight that is red and white and blue
A E F#m B E
The Dodo and the Dinosaur are waiting for you
E A x2
