[Intro]
A F#m A F#m E F#m D E

[Verse 1]
A
It's just a painting it's just a song
F#m
Wonderous plate miraculous rag on
A
Holding the promise of happiness high
F#m
Beauteous speck in a dilated eye
E
O you draw yourself a little leaner
F#m
And you sing like somebody meaner
D
Than you are
E
Don't you tiger of paper?

[Verse 2]
A
A many false windowed thing
F#m
A kite in a lecturing wind
A
Awaiting intellectual strike
F#m
Cast the pens down in the dome
E
Tonight have you read the poets lately?
F#m
They don't get a weekly monthly
D
Bi-annual now you may
E
Cry but I doubt you will

[Break]
A F#m A F#m E F#m D E

[Verse 3]
A
Ten years is all it took ten years in
F#m
Thrall to a lickspittle crook now you don't
A
Know the crooked lay of the land
F#m
You don't trust any man to shake your
E
Hand without taking a thumb or a finger
F#m
How the vilest scent will linger
D
While the sweetest pass away so
E
Swiftly

[Verse 4]
A
On this patriot day sound the national
F#m
Band sweep the plain you sunburnt and bland
