Postcard

This postcard tells you where we've 
 C
been
                           G
And dirty dreams of pious men
                             F
Who wake in fear but sleep again
                    G
With what they've done
                    C
With what they've done
                   G
With all they've done

                                 C
Some prophet died but wrote it down
                              G
Our serpent bell is on the ground
                             F
And all the ladies singing loud:
          G
"Hallelujah"
         C
"Hallelujah"
         G
"Hallelujah"

The meadow birds have found the 
  F                 G
bones of righteous men
               C                   
Like ragged clothes, like precious 
  G
stones
                           F     
And fell like evil in the end, in 
          G
aid of them

            C                  G
Those evil men, those perfect men

                          C
Some knuckle broken on disease
Which pulled a preacher off his 
  G
knees
                                F
A callous whisper through the trees
                  G
Blows: "patience boy"
                C
"More patience boy"
                G
"More patience boy"

                                C
And watch her children by the flame
                                 G
The ones you gave your father's name
                            F
Whose evil and his love remained
            G
Inside you boy
            C
Inside you boy
            G
Inside you boy

The meadow birds have found the 
  F                 G
bones of righteous men
               C                   
Like ragged clothes, like precious

                                C
We'll sing a song we've never heard
                               G
Formed out of small forsaken words
                               F
And all the while that this occurs
                G
We’ll love you all
                C
We’ll love you all
                G
We’ll love you all

                                C
And for the beauty that we've lost
                                G
The measured time for love it cost
                               F
Despite our feelings for the cross
             G
We love you all
             C
We love you all
             G
We love you all
