(intro) (solo)
(intro)
Dm7 Bb7 Am
(riff 1)
Bb7
Oh the tears that you weep
Bb7
For the poor tortured souls
F
Who fall at your feet
Ab6
With their love begging bowls
Dm7
All the clerks and the tailors
C
The sharks and the sailors
Bb
All good at their trades
G7
But they'll always be failures
(riff 2)
Alms for the poor
For the wretched disciples
And the love that they swore
With their hearts on the bible
Beseeching the honour
To sit at your table
And feast on your holiness
As long as they're able
(riff 3)
Bb
Love needs its martyrs
B
Needs its sacrifices
F
They live for your beauty
F
And pay for their vices
Bb7
Love will be the death of
B
My lonely soul brothers
F
But their spirit shall live on in
F
The hearts of all lovers
(riff 4)
You're holding court
With your lips and your smile
Your body's a halo
Their minds are on trial
Sure as Adam is eve
Sure as Jonah turned whaler
They're crooked love thieves
And you are their jailor
