SOL
A dreaded sunny day
DO
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
RE MIm RE DO
Keats and Yeats are on your side
SOL
A dreaded sunny day
DO
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
RE MIm RE DO
Keats and Yeats are on your side
RE SOL
While Wilde is on mine
SOL DO
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
RE
All those people all those lives
MIm RE DO
Where are they now?
SOL
With loves, with hates
DO
And passions just like mine
They were born
RE
And then they lived
MIm RE DO
And then they died
Which seems so unfair
RE SOL
And I want to cry
SIm
You say: "ere thrice the sun hath door
SOL
Salutation to the dawn"
SIm SOL
And you claim these words as your own
DO RE
But I'm well read, have heard them said
MIm DO
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
SOL
If you must write prose and poems
DO
The words you use should be your own
RE MIm RE DO
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
SOL
There's always someone, somwhere
DO
With a big nose, who knows
RE
And who trips you up and laughs
MIm RE DO
When you fall
RE
Who'll trip you up and laugh
SOL
When you fall
SIm SOL
You say: "ere long done do does did"
SIm SOL
Words which could only be your own
DO
You then produce the text
RE
From whence was ripped
MIm DO
(some dizzy whore, 1804)
SOL
A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're happy
DO
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
RE MIm RE DO
Keats and Yeats are on your side
SOL
A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're wanted
DO
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
RE MIm RE DO
Keats and Yeats are on your side - but you lose
RE SOL
While Wilde is on mine
