Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

please remember me, happily by the rosebush laughing

 with bruises on my chin, the time when, we counted every black car

passing

 your house beneath the hill, and up until, someone caught us in the kitchen

 With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision too removed to

 mention

 But please remember me, fondly, I heard from someone you’re still

 pretty

 And then, they went on to say That the pearly gates, has some

 eloquent graffiti

 Like, we’ll, meet again, and fuck the man And tell my mother not to

worry

 And angels with a great, handshake And all is done in such a hurry

 And please remember me, at Halloween, Making fools of all the

neighbors

 Are faces painted white, by midnight, We forgotten one another

 And when The morning came, I was ashamed Only now it seems so silly,

 That season Left the world and then returned And now your lit up by the City

 So, Please, remember me, Mistakenly In the window of the tallest

 tower call, Then pass us by, But much too high, To see the empty road at

 Happy hour

 Leave, and resonate, Just like the gates, Around the holy kingdom

 With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down' And

 'Someone Save Temptation'

 And Please, remember me As in the dream, We had as rug-burned

babies

Among the fallen trees And fast asleep Aside the lions and the ladies

 That called, you what you like, And even might, Give a gift for your

 behavior

 A fleeting chance to see, A trapeze Swing as high as any savior

 But Please, remember me, My misery, And how it lost me all I wanted

 Those dogs, that love the rain, And chasing trains

 The colored birds above there running

 In circles round the well, And where it spells

 On the wall behind St. Peter's So bright with

 With cinder gray, And spray paint 'Who the hell can see forever?'

 And Please, remember me, Seldomly, In the car behind the carnival

 My hand between your knees, You turn from me

 And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful

 But never meant to last', The clown that passed,

 Saw me just come up with anger

 When it filled, with circus dogs, The parking lot, Had an element of danger

 So Please, remember me, Finally, And all my uphill clawing

 My dear But if I make The pearly Gates

  Do my best to make a drawing Of God, and Lucifer

 A boy and girl An angel kissing on a sinner,

 A monkey and a man A marching band All around the frightened trapeze swingers

 Na-na Na-na-na Na-na Na-na...
