Tom: Em
Em G
I dreamt that I was lying on the bottom of
C B A G F
The dark and never-ending sea
Em G
On a bed that my dead lover was preparing
C B A G F
With his own skeleton for me
[Bridge]
Em
Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
G
Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain
[Verse 2]
Em G
I sensed the wretched spectres of the drowned
C B
Staring across from some distant shore
Em G
And in my sadness I drew closer
C B A G F
To condole and somewhat to implore
[Verse 3]
Em G
I am like the doubtful kiss of a corpse
C B A G F
Or maybe the kiss of an ancient stone
Em G
Yes, it's like kissing some marble statue
C B A G F
That has neither warmth nor life of its own
[Bridge 2]
Em
Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound
G
On the cell where your love might be found
[Instrumental 1]
Em G C B A G F x2
Em C G Em
[Pre-verse]
C
Cover the mirrors, fragile has died
D Em
Leaving but a starless ruin behind
C D Em
Shatter the mirrors, so that he can never be called
C D Em
Back from the blessed silence of his sacred vault
[Verse 4]
G
No, no, no, put an end to the show
C B A G F
I'm going back to the land where the bone-flowers grow
Em G
To "the wild, weird clime that lieth, sublime
C B A G F
Out of Space and out of Time"
[Verse 5]
Em G
See the shape, but can't see through
C B A G F
No-one can ever hate me as well as I do
Em G
Know when to throw a laugh, know how to force a smile
C B A G F
Whatever the intention, I'm such a "friendly" lie
[Bridge 3]
Em
Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him
G
It shall open the gates, so we can sneak you in
[Instrumental 2]
Em G C B A G F x3
[Verse 6]
Em G
"Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
C B
Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain
Em G
Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound
C B
On to the cell, where your love might be found
Em G
Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him
C B
It will open the gates, so we can sneak you in
Em G
Oh, it's cold and so dark here, and you must keep in mind
C B
No-one can get you out, if you overstep time
[Verse 7]
Em G
"Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
C B
Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain
Em G
Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound
C B
On to the cell, where your love might be found
Em G
Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him
C B
It will open the gates, so we can sneak you in
Em G
Oh, it's cold and so dark here, and you must keep in mind
C B
No-one can get you out, if you overstep time
[Outro]
Em G
"Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
C B
Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain
Em G
Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound
C B
On to the cell, where your love might be found
Em G
Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him
C B
It will open the gates, so we can sneak you in
