D Em   4x

D G   D   Em   D    


Verse:


D      Em
     Comet streams and the rocket scenes and cyclone-turning seas

D    Em
 Thy foes profanely rage

D  Em
   Hands washed, Pontius-Pilate-clean in proud Euphrates' stream 

D     Em 
 Where no one knows my name



Chorus:


Em       G     D    Em    D
 I'll be long, long gone



Verse:


D    Em
    Tolling bells through Courchevel, all moon-rides, lifts are full

D      Em
 Go search the world beneath. 

D    Em
    Cladding breach at 3-mile beach, all spent fuel pools are full

D      Em
 It's all the same to me



Chorus:


Em       G     D    Em   D
 I'll be long, long gone


          G     D       Em
 I'll be long, long gone



 G                D    
 In such fell repose, you suppose

       Em         D       G   
 That mouth will finally close

              Em   D       Em
 When you're long long gone?

Part 2:

Dm 
 I was born of a thought of mine
 I was the IB S flag design

Gm
 You were a Lilac Queen

F                      A7
Paddling through your empire's streams

Dm
 I was born of a thought of mine
 Born of the stillborn heart of mine

Gm
 You were the Werewolf King

F                    A7
Peddling round your sapphire ring


Dm
 Soon is the swing of the Hammerhand
 Same is the low-flying day of the Vultureman

Gm
 Circling the earth I go

F                  A7
Slobbering out my oatmeal wisdom:

Dm
 Nearer the boots to the stolid floor
 Or restless thought to the waves of a foreign shore?

Gm
 Racing the sun, I rose

F                  A7
Hastening lest thy gates be closed;


    Dm   
But I, but I find, but I find

        Gm                       F           A          
But I find, dadadadada, dadadadada, dadadadada

                Dm
that there is time
