sleep of the just — текст песни (costello elvis)

Sleep of the Just

G Bm
The soldier asked my name and did I come here very often
Em C
Well I thought that he was asking me to dance
G Bm
In my holy coat and hat and him in his red bonnet
Em C
We`d have made a lovely couple but we never had the chance

[chorus:]
G C
And now you say that you`ve got to go
G C
Well if you must you must
G C D G C G D
I suppose that you need the sleep of the just

Well it was a powerful day and there were black crows in the road
And I kept my strong opinions to my chest
I suppose I should have told them that I was on fire for you
When the bus burst into flames outside some place, `The Poet`s Rest`

[Repeat chorus; come out like this:] G C G G7

C Bm
A girl woke up in a naked light and said
C G
He even looked like her brother in the army but she never mentions him
B7 Em
He`ll be tucked up in his bed tonight with his dirty-pictures girl
C
Saying, `You`re some mother`s daughter you know or is it

D D/C D/B D/A
immaterial girl?`

Now she`s pinned up upon the barracks wall in her home town
All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions
And as they speculate what she`d look like beneath that thin nightgown
His family pride was rising up as he cast his eyes down

[Last chorus: come out of it with Em then repeat verse chords
to fade]
