Elegy

Minor chords the major I can't open

Little leather jacket and a black bandana
kickin' over trash cans and telling jokes in Atlanta.
When I got the fever you hit me like a fan on the back with my hand I don't know who I am
but I'm free for nothing good for nothing too.
Crazy dreams still crazy bout you.
Won't you let me in one more time babe I want to feel it too.
Well nothing isn't love babe if you know it ain't true.

Take a look at me now x 2

Reparations now coming my way.
Dues that I have recollected that I never paid.
In the stained glass windows babe I feel the presence oh yeah
But that don't mean I'm done with repentance oh no.
Gonna find another way to climb outta this basement.
Gonna find out what that smile on your face meant.
Like a thief that you borrowed baby take hold of me take flight.
And I wanna do your bidding babe, I wanna steal away in the night.

Heart's on fire 'n' so is the page Everybody round here's telling me to act my age - I'm trying .
Things are only revealed in the life that is given oh
To be free from the body when all else is forgiven.
Rain outside's blowing in the curtains nothing is revealed but nothing is for certain.
As I recall you was drinking from the sanctuary wine.
Well don't worry baby, we'll find all of our lost time.

Take a look at me now x 2

As I recall you were standing there.
You was holding your rosary beads
Ooooh
everyone around you seems to think he knows what he needs.
Ooooh
Seven ugly reasons kept me away from you then.
Ooooh
Nothing is much weaker than the resolve of most men.
I remember when we was alone in your room.
Staring out your window we knew you'd be going soon.
And I was so young babe I hoped that you knew that I meant well.
And when I looked in your eyes I thought I knew you could tell.
Now I'm going back from the cemetery gates.
You who I loved dearly now I must wait.
To be reunited in the sky when it opens.
Well, my feet are so tired baby but spirit ain't broken.

Take a look at me now x 2

Ooooh x 4

La la la la x 7
