Cemetery gates

Smiths



 CDGGmaj7
 G
 A dreaded sunny day
 C
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
 DEmDC
Keats and Yeats are on your side      
 G
 A dreaded sunny day
 C
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
 DEmDC
Keats and Yeats are on your side      
 DG
While Wilde is on mine

 GC
 So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
 D
All those people all those lives
 EmDC
Where are they now? 
 G
With loves, with hates
 C
And passions just like mine

They were born
 D
And then they lived
 EmDC
And then they died 

Which seems so unfair
 DG
 And I want to cry

 Bm
You say: "ere thrice the sun hath door
 G
Salutation to the dawn"
 BmG
And you claim these words as your own
 CD
But I'm well read, have heard them said
 EmC
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)

 G
If you must write prose and poems
 C
The words you use should be your own
 DEmDC
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
 G
There's always someone, somwhere
 C
With a big nose, who knows
 D
And who trips you up and laughs
 EmDC
When you fall 
 D
Who'll trip you up and laugh
 G
When you fall

 BmG
You say: "ere long done do does did"
 BmG
Words which could only be your own
 C
You then produce the text
 D
From whence was ripped
 EmC
(some dizzy whore, 1804)

 G
A dreaded sunny day

So let's go where we're happy
 C
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
 DEmDC
Keats and Yeats are on your side      
 G
A dreaded sunny day

So let's go where we're wanted
 C
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
 DEmDC
Keats and Yeats are on your side - but you lose
 DG
While Wilde is on mine
