VERSE
AmD
Freedom for the scape goat, let him rot in jail
AmD
Gloomy eyes, just pissed his heart like crucifixion nails
AmBm/A
Shake his fists and raise his beam, he never stood a chance
AmGBb/FFE7Am
When the angry red mob on Fleet Street you turned your eyes to friends
VERSE
AmD
Humble thought from Dublin chased across the waves
AmD
Your body still sharp enough to slice through every page
AmBm/A
Destitute and beaten by the system of the crown
AmGBb/FFE7Am
The bitter pill you swallowed take the sweet of going down
DmE7Am
And looking back with a great indifference
DmE7Am
Looking back at the lime stone walls
BbAm
Thinking how beauty deceived you
DmE7susE7
Knowing how the fools are fought
VERSE
AmD
A golden boy in velvet landed in New York
AmD
The past was so seductive when they paid to hear you talk
AmBm/A
Baccarat and champagne flutes, tobacco from Virginia
AmGBb/FFE7Am
Long before the lords and Lord granted Oscar Wilde a sinner
DmE7Am
Looking back on a cold, bleak winter
DmE7Am
Looking back on those long, dark days
BbAm
Set like the head of Joan the Baptist
DmE7susE7
In the other sour May
BREAKDOWN
Am
Don't turn around if you watch out screaming
D
Don't cry out loud, you never know who's listening
FCG7
You've seen it all the exiled Unforgiven
BbFAm
From the stately homes of England to her prisons
Am
Looking back at the hard life
D
Looking back at the wretched war
FCG7
Taken back there for my savior
BbFAm
Strange to think I'll miss them all
BbFAm
Strange to thing I'll miss them all
DmE7Am
And looking back with a great indifference
DmE7Am
Looking back at the lime stone walls
BbAm
Thinking how beauty deceived you
DmE7susE7
Knowing how the fools are fought
