Cemetry Gates

[Intro]
C D G C D G C D Em D C
C D G

[Chorus]
G
 A dreaded sunny day
                             C
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
          D                Em    D C D
Keats and Yeats are on your  side
G
 A dreaded sunny day
                             C
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
          D                Em    D
Keats and Yeats are on your  side
C     D
 While
C     D      G
 Wilde is on mine

[Verse 1]
G                                              C
 So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
                           D
All those people, all those lives,
               Em  D C D
where are they now?
      G                                      C
Witha loves and hates and passions just like mine
                              D
They were born, and then they lived,
                  Em D C
and then they died
         D C    D             G
Seems so unfair, I want to cry
             Bm                            G
You say: Ere thrice the sun done 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
                Em7
A hundred times,   maybe less,
          Dm11/F
maybe more

[Verse 2]
       G
If you must write prose and poems the words you use should
   C
be your own
                   D       Em    D
Don't plagiarise or take on  loan
C                 D
 'Cause there's al
     G
ways someone, somewhere with a big nose,
   C
who knows
                        D                    Em D
And who trips you up and laughs when you fall
C           D
 Who'll trip
    C      D              G
you up and laugh when you fall
             Bm               G
You say: Ere long done do does did
Bm                                G
Words which could only be your own
    C                                D
And then produce the text from whence was ripped
Some dizzy whore,
Em7                         Dm11/F
   eighteen hundred and four

[Chorus]
          G
A dreaded sunny day,
so let's go where we're happy
                              C
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
                   D           Em    D C
Oh, Keats and Yeats are on your  side
D         G
A dreaded sunny day,
so let's go where we're wanted
                              C
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
          D                Em
Keats and Yeats are on your  side,
D    C       D
 but you lose
       C           D          G
'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine
