Misc Your Songs - Edgehead7 - oedipus rex act 3

F^Eor too long, Oe^Cdipus had pon^Gdered on the past Won^Edering if the ora^Ccle was t^Grue The an^Eswer soon c^Came with the me^Gssenger W^Eho bro^Cught the n^Gews

Joc^Dasta ques^Ctioned him; fo^Gund that Polybus was dead Th^Dat's right, Oedipus' s^Co-called dad; he's d^Gead, that's what I said Sic^Dkness t^Cook ol' Po^Glybus down ^DHe just cou^Cldn't win the f^Gight But Oed^Dipus w^Cas supposed to k^Gill him W^Das the or^Cacle just n^Got right' Rea^Dssurance sl^Cightly returned to Oe^Gdipus' head But ^Dhe still fe^Cared the thought of his mo^Gther's bed A^Dway from Cor^Cinth, Oedipus w^Gould stay D C (No chords) G Would he return' Yeah right, that would be the day

The me^Amssenger then br^Cought even m^Gore dreadful words ^AmHe had saved Oed^Cipus while wat^Gching his herd D^Amoubt was pre^Csent; vi^Gsions were blurred The th^Amought of the sit^Cuation ^Gwas just absurd But th^Amere were the s^Ccars of the p^Gins and the tree And Jo^Amcasta fo^Cund the truth of her sh^Eady memories

Oe^Gdipus s^Ement for the se^Crvant of L^Daius the king N^Got looking ^Emout for h^Cis own w^Dell being Oed^Gipus was det^Emermined, the que^Cstions he did a^Dsk ^GHe must ^Emknow the t^Cruth of his p^Dast The she^Gpherd was rel^Emuctant; the se^Ccrets he would n^Dot reveal T^Ghe suspense is bui^Emlding; ^Cit all seems ^Dso surreal A^Gfter threatening the she^Empherd, tr^Cying to start a b^Drawl O^Amedipus found that the or^Cacle was t^Grue after all

Jo^Amcasta f^Cound the tr^Guth out all along ^AmHer and her s^Con, eww, t^Ghat's just wrong ^AmShe knew what had hap^Cpened, her m^Gind was a wreck She fo^Amund eternal ha^Cppiness in the r^Gope around her neck Oe^Amdipus heard that s^Che was dead; he b^Groke into the chamber He ^Amsaw Jocasta ha^Cnging there; he cou^Gldn't control his anger

It's the o^Cnly thing that slowly stopped the p^Eain Of h^Cis denial, it was all in v^Eain H^Cis decree, he must now o^Ebey And fo^Drever, in ex^Cile he will st^Eay.
