Tom: C
Am Em F C
Thrown in to a golden cage
Am Em F C
Renamed the breeder of grace but
Am Em F C
All the finest silk of the land
Am Em F C
Couldn't tie up my arms, tie up my hands
[Verse 2: Laura Quirke]
Am Em F C
As for all the sweet perfume
Am Em F C
And for all the flesh consumed
Am Em F C
Nothing could change yes that I knew
Am Em F C
And by the grace of he went I
Am Em F C
Oh oh
[Verse 3: Joshua Burnside]
Am Em F C
I have known the pleasures of man
Am Em F C
The honey spilled over my hands
Am Em F C
And now an angry god commands
Am Em F C
Blood on the altar
[Verse 4: Laura Quirke]
Am Em F C
As the drunken soldiers slept
Am Em F C
Through the palace gardens I crept
Am Em F C
On a throne of feathers I have slept
Am Em F C
But now I am awake
[Bridge: Joshua Burnside, Joshua Burnside & Laura Quirke]
D F
And all along
D C
The dunes of the Dardanelles
A holy rifle on my shoulder
And
C G F
50 pounds sterling
C G F
I kept in my pocket
C G F
I know very soon will
Am Em F C
Be of no use to me
Am Em F C
Be of no use to me
[Chorus: Joshua Burnside & Laura Quirke]
Am Em
Rolled through the night
F C
On a truck to the coast
Am Em F C
The arrows of Ulgen above us
Am Em F C
I’ll sway my hips to the beat of the bombs
Am Em F C
And salute the fallen
Am Em D C
Oh the joy to hear it
Am Em F C
So lonesome you wouldn't believe it
Am Em F C
As all the world is born again
Am Em F C
Naked and wailing
