Capo: 3

Michael Maher An attempt at documenting the chords from the rendition by Stocky76 http://youtube.com/watch?v=L7yMMi--3aw Capo on 3rd Fret Intro D G D Gmaj7

^DOh, where ^Gis your i^A7nfla^Dmmatory writ ^DYour text th^Gat woul^A7d incite a l^Dight, "Be lit"

^DOur music deserving devotion unswerving Cry "Do I deserve her?" with unflagging fervor Well, no you d^Go not^A7, if^D you cannot get over it

^Gmaj7But what's it m^Bmean when suddenly we're spent, tell me true ^Gmaj7Ambition came a^Bmnd reared its head, and went far from you ^Gmaj7Even mollusks have weddings, though solemn and leaden Bu^Bmt you dirge for the dead, take no jam on your bread Ju^Dst a supper of^G salt an^A7d a w^Daltz through your empty bed

And ^Fall at ^A7once it came to me An^Dmd I wrote an^Fd hunched 'till four-thirty But t^Cmhat vest^Gmal light It b^A7urns out wi^Dth the night In ^G7spite of all^Dm the time that we spent on it ^FOne bedraggled ghost of a sonnet Wh^Gile out^Dside, the wild boars root Witho^Bmut bendi^A7ng a bough underfoot Oh^C it breaks my heart

I do^Gn't know how they do it So don't ask me

And as for my inflammatory writ Well, I wrote it an I was not inflamed one bit Advice from the master derailed that disaster He said "Hand that pen over to me, poetaster!" While across the great plains, keening lovely and awful Ululate the last Great American Novels An unlawful lot, left to stutter and freeze, floodlit

^DBut at ^Cleast t^Ghey d^A7idn^D't run, to their undying credit
