Tom: G
G D C G D C
The ghosts are on patrol, At the bottom of the hill
G D C G D C
Where I held you underneath, My burnt and bony knees
Am Em
Older in the doorway,
[Chorus]
C G C G
I was a man of high renown
C G D Em
Bury me here under the sweet grass,
C G C G C G Am D G D C x2
That sticks to your thighs Cover me in elephant oil, All round the dark said
[Verse 2]
G D C G D C
To see your eyes all black, The rash all down your back
G D C G D C
The dusty garage floor, Along your soft skin torn
Am Em
Younger in the roses,
[Chorus]
C G C G
You were a man of noble esteem
C G D Em C G
I'll bury you here, Under the sun beams, That kiss on your limbs,
C G C G Am D G D C x2
Cover you in petrol and tires, All round the light said
[Verse 3]
G D C G D C
When the muddy rockets flew, And of sisters I had two
G D C G D C
Before the towers fell, I dreamt we were in hell
Am Em
Older in the roses,
[Chorus]
C G C G
I was a man of noble esteem
C G D Em C G
I'll bury you here under the sweet grass, That sticks to your thighs
C G C G Am D G D C x2
Cover me in elephant oil, All round the dark said
