Chords: G, D, G], A

More chords by Blue Öyster Cult

Genre: rock, metal, prog


please bear

with me. It's just the basic chord changes for this little known BOC song off

the

"Mirrors" LP, as best as I could figure them. It sounds especially nice if

you play the

verses with arpeggio strumming, then switch to full chords for the chorus.

I also recommend listening to the actual recording to get the timing of the

vocals, if

you're into that sort of thing.
[INTRO]: [A G D G] x 2
[VERSE]:
A G D G
They have killed the great sun jes-ter
A G D G
Who danced between the stars
A G D G
They have stripped him of his man-hood
A G D G
Signs of Venus and of Mars
A G D G
The cynics left him weeping, and the jackals left him torn
A G D G A
And the jester reaches out blind hands, He can touch the stars ... no more.
[A - G - D - D G D G] x 2
[CHORUS]:
A G
And he took the stars in his hands
D D G D G
And as he scattered them he'd shout
A G
"I'm the joker of the universe
D D G D G
I'm what it's all about."
A G
Now he's dying in his grief
D D G D G
And the hard men dragged him down
A G
They have killed the wild-eyed jester
D G A
They have killed the fire - clown

[Repeat INTRO]
[VERSE]:
A G D G
Now his blind eyes seek the starlight
