Authors Note: This is my first ever submission for UltimateGuitar.com, so please bear with me. It's just the basic chord changes for this little known BOC song off the "Mirrors" LP, as best as I could figure them. It sounds especially nice if you play the verses with arpeggio strumming, then switch to full chords for the chorus. I also recommend listening to the actual recording to get the timing of the vocals, if you're into that sort of thing. [INTRO]: [A G D G] x 2 [VERSE]:

^AThey have ^Gkilled the great sun ^Djes-^Gter ^AWho ^Gdanced between the s^Dtars ^G ^AThey have ^Gstripped him of his ^Dman-^Ghood ^ASigns of ^GVenus and of ^DMars ^G ^AThe cynics ^Gleft him weeping, and the ^Djackals left him ^Gtorn And the ^Ajester reaches ^Gout blind hands, He can^D touch the stars^G ... no ^Amore.

[A - G - D - D G D G] x 2 [CHORUS]:

And he ^Atook the stars ^Gin his hands And as he ^Dscattered them he'd shout ^D ^G ^D ^G "I'm^A the joker of^G the universe I'm ^Dwhat it's all ab^Dou^Gt.&^Dqu^Got; Now he's ^Adying in his ^Ggrief And the ^Dhard men dragged him down ^D ^G ^D ^G They have ^Akilled the wild-eyed ^Gjester They have ^Dkilled the ^Gfire - ^Aclown

[Repeat INTRO] [VERSE]:

^ANow his ^Gblind eyes seek the ^Dstar^Glight ^AAnd his ^Gfingers seek con^Dtrols ^G ^ATo ^Gtake him into ^Dspace a^Ggain ^AWhere he ^Gwas both young and ^Dold ^G ^AThe dancers ^Gstiff with pain, and they've ^Dmade him kneel too ^Glong And the ^Amadness they have ^Gdriven out, they've ^Dleft him cold .^G... and ^Asane.

[A - G - D - D G D G] x 2 [CHORUS]:

[A - G - D - G - D - A]

^AHe'll never^G - sing his songs - ag^Dain....^G ^D ^A ^AHe'll never ^Gdance between the stars - ag^Dain...^G. ^D ^A ^AHe'll never ^G- laugh - ^Dagain.... ^G ^D ^A ^ANo he'll never ever ^G- laugh - a^Dgain....^G ^D ^A Oh, no..^A..

^D ^G ^D ^G

Repeat [A - G - D - D G D G] and fade... Or, since I always like to put endings on songs (And I can't really "fade" while playing live [A - G - D - D G D G] x 4 then end with A
