C                        F         C           F  C 
I dreamt of being horses in shackles of gold 
C                          Am             Bb       F 
And the men that were young then are now terribly old 
C                 F                      C 
The graveyard was creaking with too many bones 
C                    Am          Bb      F  
While the bishop was praying his cassock was sold 
C                             F            C 
Three cheers for the innocent though he is perverse 
C                     Am                Bb        F  
Three screams for the hangman as he cries for the hearse 
C                     F            C 
I weep for the rebels conventional ways 
C             Am      Bb             F  
For he loses his mind while the devious stay 
C  G  
By the way 

C           F        Em  
If the world saluted you 
     Dm                G            Dm  
Well what would you do if you could be there 
G 
Well would you still take me 
Would you take me anywhere 
C           F        Em       
If the world saluted you 
Dm                  F                    Dm 
Well what would you say when things were down 
Dm              G  
Would you still want me 
Would you want me around 

C F Em Dm C 
C   F C 

C                       F                 C  
So come all ye faithful and slaughter your lambs 
C                Am             Bb     F   
Your minds have been whipped by experienced hands 
C                       F           C  
I wish we were children I'd welcome the change 
Dm                Bb                F  
And the mind of an old man you can't rearrange 
G 
Ain't it strange 

C            F       Em  
If the world saluted you 
Dm                    C       Bm     Dm  
Well what would you do if you could be there 
G 
Would you still 
                Em      G  
Would you still take me anywhere 
C            F       Em  
If the world saluted you 
Dm             F              Dm          
What would you say when things were down 
G 
Would you still want me 
Would you still want me around 

C   F   Em   Dm
