Augustine Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Em G C

 As thEme bell towerG blocks theC summer light

EmAll the sGeeds in our gCarden fight

 To bEmreak Dand bClossom, all to Bbe adored

 And look, your skCirt is torn

 And there's blDood on our sheets

 As comes theEm long aGrm oCf the law

EmFist tGight, baCnging on the door

 And kEmnockDing mCe down on its wBay in C D

As I pass out into a dream

Of whooping cranes and wooden beams

Great white wings beating

In an attic, in a house, in the dead of night

Singing

COh,D my EmAuguDstiCne, EmAugDustiCne

COhD, is this fEmoreDveCr, EmeveDr?C

COh, Doh

 Sweet EmAugDustCine, EmAugDustCine

 What dCoes this mDean for us?

Does it mean that I can never change my ways?

And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay

Still you will and love me

Like a mother or a maid bringing you down, down

Down on your brazen knees

Watering the worms and the weeds

Thinking, why does love leave me so damn cold?

Now I'm getting old

And is this what it should be?

Well, is it?

Oh, my Augustine, Augustine.

Oh, is this forever, ever?

Oh, oh

Sweet Augustine, Augustine

 Or Cdo we kill thDis one tonGight? C

G C

 And now come the EmteaGrs, hCeavy and hot

EmAs it comes cGlear, this is aCll we got

 As I hEmold yDou tCo my bed

 Like a caBncer, or a cCurse

 Now be my loDving nurse

 As we fall back iEmnto tDhe impCossible drEmeam
