GG Piano Chord 

A dreaded sunny day
CC Piano Chord 

So I meet you at the cemetery gates
DD Piano Chord 
           EmEm Piano Chord 
       DD Piano Chord 
   CC Piano Chord 

Keats and Yeats are on your side
GG Piano Chord 

A dreaded sunny day
CC Piano Chord 

So I meet you at the cemetery gates
DD Piano Chord 
           EmEm Piano Chord 
       DD Piano Chord 
   CC Piano Chord 

Keats and Yeats are on your side
DD Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 

While Wilde is on mine

GG Piano Chord 
                                         CC Piano Chord 

So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
DD Piano Chord 

All those people all those lives
EmEm Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

Where are they now?
GG Piano Chord 

With loves, with hates
CC Piano Chord 

And passions just like mine

They were born
DD Piano Chord 

And then they lived
EmEm Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

And then they died

Which seems so unfair
DD Piano Chord 
              GG Piano Chord 

And I want to cry

BmBm Piano Chord 

You say: "ere thrice the sun hath door
GG Piano Chord 

Salutation to the dawn"
BmBm Piano Chord 
                        GG Piano Chord 

And you claim these words as your own
CC Piano Chord 
                   DD Piano Chord 

But I'm well read, have heard them said
EmEm Piano Chord 
                       CC Piano Chord 

A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)

GG Piano Chord 

If you must write prose and poems
CC Piano Chord 

The words you use should be your own
DD Piano Chord 
      EmEm Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
GG Piano Chord 

There's always someone, somwhere
CC Piano Chord 

With a big nose, who knows
DD Piano Chord 

And who trips you up and laughs
EmEm Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

When you fall
DD Piano Chord 

Who'll trip you up and laugh
GG Piano Chord 

When you fall

BmBm Piano Chord 
                GG Piano Chord 

You say: "ere long done do does did"
BmBm Piano Chord 
                             GG Piano Chord 

Words which could only be your own
CC Piano Chord 

You then produce the text
DD Piano Chord 

EmEm Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 

(some dizzy whore, 1804)

GG Piano Chord 

A dreaded sunny day

So let's go where we're happy
CC Piano Chord 

And I meet you at the cemetery gates
DD Piano Chord 
           EmEm Piano Chord 
       DD Piano Chord 
   CC Piano Chord 

Keats and Yeats are on your side
GG Piano Chord 

A dreaded sunny day

So let's go where we're wanted
CC Piano Chord 

And I meet you at the cemetery gates
DD Piano Chord 
           EmEm Piano Chord 
       DD Piano Chord 
   CC Piano Chord 

Keats and Yeats are on your side - but you lose
DD Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 

While Wilde is on mine
