Awol

Intro
C  -  C7  -  C
Gm              F         Dm    
Three dozen cycles, give or take
           C
 a sum,
Am                   Bb          
The sum of that experience - how 
     Gm              C
to keep running.
    F         Dm             Gm  
O I know justice, it's a 
                    C
birthright if you're born right,
     F                 Dm     
and I know how handsome is that 
                Gm           C
trick of the light,
C                F               
So don't be mistaken in thinking 
Bb            Gm
I'll do right
C                F             
given the chance to do wrong 
Bb       C              Bb         C
again and again.


Gm        F           Dm          C
Summer romeos casing the park,
          Am        Bb          
by the uniform urinals of love's
Gm           C
 rural province.
    F                     Dm  
O don't you know time, with its 
            Gm             C
petty vial of sands,
    F           Dm        Gm
inscrutable face and merciless 
         C
hands?
      C                     F
And don't you know love?
        Bb               Gm
It's a whirlwind of feathers,

C                         F  
tickles you to your nethers and 
                           Bb      
leaves a terrain of despair…
    Gm



       Gm                 
And I know when grief goes 
F              Dm          C
unchecked,
              Am           Bb 
There's a kind of relief in the 
          Gm               C
wreckage for the wrecked…


Gm             F       Dm       
Weren't you alone last time I 
    C
saw you?
Am                     Bb        
How do you keep running from the 
             Gm                C
world and the war?
    F                  Dm         
O I know young fathers who once 
    Bb                C
were like soldiers,
F                    Dm
AWOL in flung places
          Bb              C
or without standing orders,
C                F              
Alarming approaches to time     
Bb     Gm              C
    and it's killing,
     F             Bb      C     
no victimless crime again and 
       Bb      C
again, Again and again

Gm       F        Dm      
Monday night, Goodies and The 
              C
Doctor,
Am                          Bb    
Now that bath time's over, time 
Gm       C
for pyjamas.
F                  Dm         Bb
O I know self pity, it begins 
              C
with nostalgia,
               F                Dm
and you'll die of melancholy if 
           Bb            C
the dolor don't get ya,
       C           F               
And I know a poem on a wall next to
Bb                Gm
 a picture
       C             F            
of a dick and a fanny, by a smear 
    Bb            C
of regret.


          Gm           F          
And it sings of its own long 
   Dm   Am                Am     
demise,                something 
                   Bb
about imperium,
         Gm              C
and a new sun will rise,
           F                Dm    
and "O please don't go with those 
            Bb      C        Gm  
horrible guys, they only want one
        Am         Bb     G
 thing."
    F                Dm    
O please don't go with those 
           Bb        C      C    
horrible guys, they only want one
         F            Bb
 thing,
C              Bb     C     Bb  
Again and again.
