Oh Dwhere is your infGlammatAory Dwrit
Your text that would insGide a Alight be Dlit
Our music deserving devotion unswerving
Cried do I deserve her with unflagging fervour
Well no we do not if we Gcannot get Aover Dit
But GMaj7what’s it mean when suddenly we’rBme spent tell me true
AmGMaj7bition came and reared it’s head and Bmwent far from you
Even GMaj7molluscs have weddings though solemn and leaden
But you Bmdirge for the dead and take no jam on your bread
Just a Dsupper of salt and a Gwaltz through your Aempty Dbed
And Fall at once it Acame to me
And I Bbwrote in hunch til F4:30
CmBut that vesGmtal lightA it burns outD with the night
In G7spite of all the time that Dmwe spent on it
On Bbone bedraggled Fghost of a sonnet
While Goutside the wild Dboars root
BmWithout bending a Abough underfoot
Oh it Cbreaks my heart I don’Gt know how they do it
So don’t ask me
And Das for my inGflammaAtory Dwrit
I wrote it and I was Gnot infAlamed one Dbit
AdGMaj7vice from the master derailed that disaster
He said Bmhand that pen over to me poetaster
While GMaj7‘cross the great plains keening lovely and awful
You Bmulate the lost great American novels
An Dunlawful lot left to Gstutter and Afreeze floodDlit
But at least they didn’Ct run to theiGr unAdying crDedit
