A dreaded sunny day
                                                                 C 
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
                         D                     Em             D     C 
Keats and Yeats are on your side
 G 
A dreaded sunny day
                                                                 C 
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
                         D                     Em             D     C 
Keats and Yeats are on your side
                 D                   G 
While Wilde is on mine
 G                                                                                 C 
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
                                                           D 
All those people all those lives
                             Em  D  C 
Where are they now?
               G 
With loves, with hates
                                                 C 
And passions just like mine
They were born
                                 D 
And then they lived
                           Em  D  C 
And then they died
Which seems so unfair
 D                           G 
And I want to cry
                               Bm 
You say: "ere thrice the sun hath door
                                       G 
Salutation to the dawn"
                   Bm                                               G 
And you claim these words as your own
           C                                     D 
But I'm well read, have heard them said
                       Em                                             D 
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
                 G 
If you must write prose and poems
                                                                     C 
The words you use should be your own
                                           D           Em  D  C 
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
                                     G 
There's always someone, somwhere
                                               C 
With a big nose, who knows
                                                       D 
And who trips you up and laughs
                 Em  D  C 
When you fall
                                                   D 
Who'll trip you up and laugh
                     G 
When you fall
                               Bm                               G 
You say: "ere long done do does did"
   Bm                                                         G 
Words which could only be your own
           C 
You then produce the text
               D 
From whence was ripped
                           Em         D 
(some dizzy whore, 1804)
                         G 
A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're happy
                                                                 C 
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
                         D                     Em             D     C 
Keats and Yeats are on your side
                         G 
A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're wanted
                                                                   C 
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
                         D                     Em             D     C 
Keats and Yeats are on your side - but you lose
                 D                   G 
While Wilde is on mine
