A Portrait Of The Trequartista As A Young Man

	  		Intro: F Dm x4 

 F              Dm 
Now is time to take recourse 
    F                   Dm 
To drag my bones from 'neath his corpse 
   F                Dm 
Retract the blade within his heart 
   Bb                 C 
Inscribe our initials in the bark 
     F                  Dm 
Of every tree in every woods 
    F                  Dm 
In ink red blood, can you imagine? 
         F             Dm 
While wearing his head as a hood 
     Bb               C 
I'd take life for a crime of passion 


 F        Dm 
Lies told 
 F        Dm 
Lies told 
 F        Dm 
Lies told 
 Bb       C 
Lies told 

F 

   F          Dm 
Darling, if I had the choice 
       F           Dm 
I'd excavate his throat of voice 
       F           Dm 
And corrugate his vocal chords 
    Bb              C 
To play a tune to please the Lord 
      F                Dm 
Make him recite this murder ballad 
    F              Dm 
A sombre tune told by a bore 
       F               Dm 
Pump blood around the limp and pallid 
  Bb        C     
Harmonising as you snored 


 F        Dm 
Lies told 
 F        Dm 
Lies told 
 F        Dm     x2 
Lies told 
 Bb       C 
Lies told 

Gm 

                  Gm 
One day when I'm older 
                  Gm 
I'll write it all down 
                        Gm

Bb C Dm C x2 


Bb                  C 
We all know we're gonna die 
         Dm                 C 
We're a speck of dust in a bad God's eye 
    Bb                 C                   x2 
He rubs us clean, but love is blind 
    Dm                     C 
A balloon artist kisses porcupine

We all know we're gonna die 
         Bb                 C 
We're a speck of dust in a bad God's eye 
    Bb                 C 
He rubs us clean, but love is blind 
    Dm                     C      Bb 
A balloon artist kisses porcupine
