Cardiacs

(there be dragons)

E B F#m A
Hail majestic corporate light
E F#m C#m F# E A
Heaven born and ever bright
E B F#m A
How our spirit like the waves
E F#m C#m F# E A
As the breath of thine awakes

E B A B
And now the night of weeping shall be
E A A E A
The morn of song
B C#m F# A E F#sus4 F#m
Ah! We are those whose thunder shakes the skies
D A C#m F# E F#
The thin spun life

E B F#m A
Home of fadeless splendour
E F#m C#m F# E A
Of flowers that bear no thorn
E B A
Here may the blind and hungry come
B E A A E A
And light and food receive
B C#m F# C#m F#m A
Here mighty springs of consolation rise
E F#sus4 A
To cheer the fainting mind
F#sus4 C#m F# C#m F#
And re-creation find

E B F#m A
So overcome thy fear
E F#m C#m F# E A
And burst into sudden blaze
E B A B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears
E A A E A
And slit the thin spun life
B C#m F# A E F#sus4 F#m
Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail
D A C#m F#
Thy justice fear

E B F#m A
Walk in shadow, walk in dread
E F#m C#m F# E A
Loosefish walk as like one dead
E B F#m A
One drop in a winter sea
E F#m C#m F# E A
No more to rise forever
E B A B
Anything down there about your souls
E A A E A
Will smash the sun alight
B C#m F# A E F#
Ah! Yield week in, weak out from morn to night
E F#sus4 A
Feelers from across the sea
F#sus4 C#m F# C#m F#
Come crawling over thee

E B F#m A
One drop in a winter sea
E F#m C#m F# E A
No more to rise forever
E B F#m A
One drop in a winter sea
E F#m C#m F# E A
No more to rise forever
E B A B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears
E A A E A
And slit the thin spun life
B C#m F# A E F#sus4 F#m
Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail
D A C#m F# E A
The thin spun life
C#m F# C#m F#m A
We are those whose thunder shakes the skies
E F#sus4 A
Whose eyes this atom globe surveys
F#sus4 C#m F# C#m F#
Thy justice fear, hooray!
