Dadd4/ Dadd4/ / VERSE 2: At the feast of fools outlaws can all come home You can wear any disguise you want but you'll be naked past the bone At the feast of fools people's hands weave light There's a diamond wind flowering in the darkest night CHORUS 2: It's time for the silent criers to be held in love It's time for the ones who dig graves for them to get that final shove It's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed even by the faceless kings of corporations It's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize which turns out to be a big fat nothing SOLO: (chords as for verses, x2) CHORUS 3: (finish with an Em11 chord) It's time for the singers of songs without hope to take a hard look and start from scratch again It's time for these headlights racing against inescapable dark to be just forgotten It's time for Harlequin to leap out of the future into the midst of a world of dancers It's time for us all to stand hushed in the cathedral of silence waiting at the river's end Waiting at the river's end CHORD VOICINGS: 0(10)978x Dadd4/ 0(10)777x 05423x 04222x x02210 022000 20023x Em11 02403x 799777 -------------------------------- John Kean keanj@agresearch.cri.nz --------------------------------
