CEMETARY GATES           THE SMITHS

C	D	G	Gmaj7 (x3)
C       D       G


G
A dreaded sunny day
                               C
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
           D	        Em	 D  C
Keats and Yeats are on your side 	    	 
G
A dreaded sunny day
 	                       C
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
 C	   D	        Em	 D  
Keats and Yeats are on your side 	    	 
      C    D	       G
While Wi-i-ilde is on mine

G	                                  C
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
 	   C                D
All those people all those lives
             Em    D   C
Where are they now?	 
 G
With loves, with hates
 	                C
And passions just like mine
           C
They were born
 	       D
And then they lived
 	      Em   D	C
And then they died	 
                  C    D
Which seems so unfair
               G
And I want to cry

               Bm
You say: "ere thrice the sun done
                   G
Salutation to the dawn"
          Bm	                   G
And you claim these words as your own
 C	                      D
But I've read well, and I've heard them said
 	Em	                    C
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)

 	G
If you must write prose and poems
 	                         C
The words you use should be your own
 	C            D	      Em  D   C
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
 	G
There's always someone, somwhere
 	               C
With a big nose, who knows
 	 C                D
And who trips you up and laughs
         Em  D  C
When you fall	 
 	C                D
Who'll trip you up and laugh
 	  G
When you fall

 	  Bm	                 G
You say: "ere long done do does did"
 Bm                            G
Words which could only be your own
     C
An then produce the text
       D
From whence was ripped
 	     Em	                         C
(some dizzy whore, Eighteen-hundred and four)

 	   G
A dreaded sunny day

So let's go where we're happy
 	                        C
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
    C          D	  Em	D    C
Oh Keats and Yeats are on your side 	    	 
 	   G
A dreaded sunny day

So let's go where we're wanted
 	                        C
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
 C	    D	        Em   D              C
Keats and Yeats are on your side - but you lose
 	D	G
While Wilde is on mine
       C            D	          G
This weird love of Wi-ilde is on mine

C	D	G	Gmaj7 (x3)
C       D       G
