Key: A
Introduction:
A2 A7 D
I was lost and tossed on a misty morning by a drunken sailor
Dm7 E7sus4E E7
and the genie in the bottle let me down
A2 A7 D
I was raised on Cain in the name of the Father and the Mother
Dm7 E7sus4E E7
and the brother and the other who was never even round
A2 A7
On a windswept coast with the Black Knight falling
D Dm7 E7sus4E E7
I was heard to be calling that my ship and all its crew were going down
A2 A7 D
As the sun ran slowly by a childhood rivulet a jeweled King summoned me
Dm7 E7sus4E E7
commanding that I run and tell the town
Bridge
A D G C F D
Saw you, saw me, run quickly now
F G A2
Run and hide away
F G A
Run and hide today
verse 2
A2 A7 D
In a room in a castle full of faceless lovers I was cut and bleeding
Dm7 E7sus4E
and the image in the mirror struck me down
A2 A7 D
I was chased and beaten by a well-drilled team of little men breathing colors
Dm7 E7sus4E E7
and abandoned in a coffin in the ground
A2 A7 D
As a pale young virgin made a meal of a martyr she was hailed as holy
Dm7 E7sus4E
by the only ones who stood and held their ground
A2 A7 D
When a bright Mona Lisa with the eyes of a tiger read a new proclamation
Dm7 E7sus4E E7
I was stricken from her list and never found
