DO x x x x x x x
DO x x x x x x x SOL x x x SIb x x x
Field Commander Cohen, he was our most important spy.
FA x x x x x x x
Wounded in the line of duty,
REm x x x x x x x DO x x x SOLm x x x
parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties,
SIb x x x x x x x FA x x x DOm x x x
urging Fidel Castro to abandon fields and castles.
SIb x x x REm
Leave it all and like a man,
SIb REm
come back to nothing special,
LAm LAm
such as waiting rooms and ticket lines,
REm LAm
silver bullet suicides,
REm LAm
and messianic ocean tides,
REm LAm
and racial roller-coaster rides
SIb LA
and other forms of boredom advertised as poetry.
E E E E (just the bottom note)
SIm RE
I know you need your sleep now,
LA
I know your life's been hard.
SIm RE
But many men are falling,
LA
where you promised to stand guard.
DO x x x x x x x x x SOL x x x SIb x x x
I never asked but I heard you cast your lot along with the poor.
FA x x x x x x x
But then I overheard your prayer,
REm x x x x x x x
that you be this and nothing more
DO x x x SOLm x x x SIb x x x
than just some grateful faithful woman's favourite singing
x x x x
millionaire,
FA x x x DOm x x x SIb x x x REm
the patron Saint of envy and the grocer of despair,
MI LA
working for the Yankee Dollar.
MI MI MI MI
SIm
I know you need your sleep now ...
DO x x x x x x x SOL x x x SIb x x x
Ah, lover come and lie with me, if my lover is who you are,
FA x x x x x x x REm x x x x x x x
and be your sweetest self awhile until I ask for more, my child.
DO x x x SOLm x x x SIb x x x x x x x
Then let the other selves be wrong, yeah, let them manifest and come
FA x x x DOm x x x
till every taste is on the tongue,
SIb x x x REm x x x
till love is pierced and love is hung,
SIb x x x REm x x x
and every kind of freedom done, then
LAm FA LAm FA LAm FA
oh my love, oh my love, oh my love,...
