	  		Intro: 

D Em   4x 

D G   D   Em   D     


Verse: 


D      Em 
     Comet streams and the rocket scenes and cyclone-turning seas 

D    Em 
 Thy foes profanely rage 

D  Em 
   Hands washed, Pontius-Pilate-clean in proud Euphrates' stream  

D     Em  
 Where no one knows my name 




Em       G     D    Em    D 
 I'll be long, long gone 



Verse: 


D    Em 
    Tolling bells through Courchevel, all moon-rides, lifts are full 

D      Em 
 Go search the world beneath.  

D    Em 
    Cladding breach at 3-mile beach, all spent fuel pools are full 

D      Em 
 It's all the same to me 




Em       G     D    Em   D 
 I'll be long, long gone 


          G     D       Em 
 I'll be long, long gone 




 G                D     
 In such fell repose, you suppose 

       Em         D       G    
 That mouth will finally close 

              Em   D       Em 
 When you're long long gone?

Part 2: 

Dm  
 I was born of a thought of mine 
 I was the ISIS flag design 

Gm 
 You were a Lilac Queen 

F                      A7 
Paddling through your empire's streams 

Dm 
 I was born of a thought of mine 
 Born of the stillborn heart of mine 

Gm 
 You were the Werewolf King 

F                    A7 
Peddling round your sapphire ring 


Dm 
 Soon is the swing of the Hammerhand 
 Same is the low-flying day of the Vultureman 

Gm 
 Circling the earth I go 

F                  A7 
Slobbering out my oatmeal wisdom: 

Dm 
 Nearer the boots to the stolid floor 
 Or restless thought to the waves of a foreign shore? 

Gm 
 Racing the sun, I rose 

F                  A7 
Hastening lest thy gates be closed; 


    Dm    
But I, but I find, but I find 

        Gm                       F           A           
But I find, dadadadada, dadadadada, dadadadada 

                Dm 
that there is time
