Time For Bedlam

Deep Purple


Tom: Em

Cm
Descending the cold steps of the institution for the politically insane
            Am
Never to be seen again
Gm
Saying farewell to daylight
                                          Am
From henceforth I shall rot in a stinking bed of wet straw

[Verse]
B                                           F#m
Right from the ashes of life I learned to behave
B                                                F#m
What to believe, what not to say, from cradle to grave
A                      G
Ah, like a good little slave

B                                            F#m
Sucking my milk from the venomous tit of the state
     B                                               F#m
This clearly designed to suppress every thought of escape
A                  G
Ah, I surrender to fate

[Chorus]
D G Bbm
D G Bbm
D G Bbm
F#m
No pity, no pity
                                         E
Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell
F#m
I'll see you in hell
           E   F#
See you in hell

[Verse]
B                                                 F#m
Frozen in time, I'm a specimen pinned to my throne
        B                                             F#m
With an army of butterflies pilloried placid and prone
A                  G
Ah, we were never alone

F#m
I'll see you in hell


[Spoken]
Cm                                               Am
After centuries of living with nothing but my convictions
Cm                                             Am
Broken fingers clawing through the walls of my incarcerations
  Cm                                Am
Escaping the clutches of eternal damnation
           Bm
I was justified
