The Trials Of Cato - Gloria

^CSixteen and ^Fat the ^Cseam, well there were ^Amheadlamps, ^Gcanary ^Cdreams, I was ap^Amprentice to a ^Gcharcoal ^Cart, As I ^Cwaited for my ^Glife to ^Cstart,

And they said ^Cblack blood ran ^Fthrough my ^Cveins, Yet in the ^Ampit all I ^Gknew was ^Cpain, Those blasted ^Amchambers were ^Gchoking ^Cme, And only ^CGloria could ^Gset me ^Cfree,

But then a ^Cwoman I ^Fchanced to ^Cmeet, And I felt the ^Amcoal move be^Gneath my ^Cfeet, And in the ^Ammirror ^GI did ^Cstare, At Glori^Ca with the ^Gshort brown ^Chair,

And she said ^Cwhat’s to come is ^Fway past over^Cdue, And it’s ^Cthen I knew what ^GI was born to ^Gdo^C, ^G And as she ^Ammoved through the ^Gcounty fair, not a ^Fman in sight could help to ^Gstare, so she ^Cleft them there, ^Fwatching and waiting ^Gfor the ^Amsound of a ^Gwoman’s voice, but the ^Flook in her eye gave them no ^Gchoice, so she ^Cleft them there, ^Fwatching and waiting ^Gfor the ^Csound

I ^Clay behind the ^Fminers ^Clife, I’ll ^Amsay no prayers I’ll ^Gtake no ^Cwife, I’ll busk my ^Amway down to ^GCamdem ^CTown For it’s ^Cthere a queen can ^Gfind her ^Ccrown

And then one ^Cevening she ^Fcomes ^Caround, We tear our ^Amway’O right ^Gthrough the ^Ctown, And through the ^Amsherry wine and ^Gsmoky ^Chaze, Oh Glori^Ca shows me a ^Gwoman’s ^Cways,

And I ^Cdress myself as ^Fbest as I ^Ccan, And I for^Cget that ^GI was born a ^Gma^Cn,^G And as she ^Ammoved through the ^Gcounty fair, not a ^Fman in sight could help to ^Gstare, so she ^Cleft them there, ^Fwatching and waiting ^Gfor the ^Amsound of a ^Gwoman’s voice, but the ^Flook in her eye gave them no ^Gchoice, so she ^Cleft them there, ^Fwatching and waiting ^Gfor the ^Csound

^CFind myself in ^FSoho ^Cbars, In a world of ^Amashtrays and ^Gold ^Cguitars, And there are ^Amthose who said that ^Git trans^Cgress, And there were ^Cthose who saw be^Ghind the ^Cdress

Now I ^Cclad myself in ^Ffiner^Cy, I sing my ^Amsong oh for ^Gall to ^Csee, And all the ^Ampeople how ^Gthey did ^Cstare, At Glori^Ca with the ^Gshort brown ^Chair,

And I ^Cdress myself as ^Fbest as I ^Ccan, And I for^Cget that ^GI was born a ^Gma^Cn,^G And as she ^Ammoved through the ^Gcounty fair, not a ^Fman in sight could help to ^Gstare, so she ^Cleft them there, ^Fwatching and waiting ^Gfor the ^Amsound of a ^Gwoman’s voice, but the ^Flook in her eye gave them no ^Gchoice, so she ^Cleft them there, ^Fwatching and waiting ^Gfor the ^Csound
