G D C D G

[Verse 1]
G
Stuck on limbo bridge
      D
Where below me ol' Nick grins
      C                            G
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
G
Gets up off his chair
        D
Spins a jig to my despair
         C           D      G
He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
G
Underneath the bush
      D
Lay a begger out of luck
       C                   G
On his lips was a taste he forgets
    G
His hopes are filled with sand
        D
That he watched fall through his hand
      C           D           G
Every grain was a lifetime of regret

[Chorus]
         D    G
So go and bow your head and weep
       C      D      G
For your world won't change while you sleep
D       G
Yeah go and bow your head and weep
        C D     Em
For the summer that was lost now is gone
C  D G
Yeah the summer that was lost now is gone

[Verse 2]
G
Fertile Mrs Moore
      D
Had thirteen kids but still looked good
       C                   G
Til' her ol' man jumped leave on a ship
    G
She never read a book
        D
But by Christ she understood
         C          D              G
That the meanin' of life starts in bed

[Chorus]
         D    G
So go and bow your head and weep
       C      D      G
For your world won't change while you sleep
D       G
Yeah go and bow your head and weep
        C D     Em
For the summer that was lost now is gone
C  D G
Yeah the summer that was lost now is gone

[Verse 3]
G
Killer Kilbain
        D
Beat me senseless everyday
            C                            G
I hope that bastard is beneath a head of stone
           G
Where I'll dance upon his grave
            D
For all the madness I now crave
          C          D                  G
While the scars that remain are still a curse
G
Stuck on limbo bridge
      D
Where below me ol' Nick grins
      C                            G
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
G
Gets up off his chair
        D
Spins a jig to my despair
         C           D      G
He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
               C         D    G
Yeah he can't wait to count the times where I went wrong

[Outro]
D         G
So go and bow your head and weep
          C       D       G
For your world won't change while you sleep
             D       G
Yeah go and bow your head and weep
        C D     Em
For the summer that was lost now is gone
        C D     Em
For the summer that was lost now is gone
        C D     Em
For the summer that was lost now is gone
        C D     G
For the summer that was lost now is gone
