The Tall Shadow From Saint Malo

Dm  C  Bbmaj7

[Verse 1]
Dm                 C             
Well boy, what you borrow, you 
        Bbmaj7
will soon beg.
    Dm                           
And pretty soon they’re gonna pay 
      C                     Bbmaj7
your alms and both of your legs.
   Dm                    C
So bring the destroyers, bring the 
little death,
Dm                                
Circle those ships around 
  Bbmaj7
mercurial sects.
    Dm         C                  
How cruel… the violence of loving 
       Bbmaj7
what’s left.

[Chorus]
           F                     
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, 
        C
such a curios lover.
    Dm                         F  
But what my trouble loves only 
           C
turns me into rubble.
  F                           C
Below the baseboard comes the scream
 from the gallows.
   Dm                             
It flickers on the wall, the tall 
F
shadow from Saint Malo.
F                               Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.

Dm            C              
Now it stands forever in the 
Bbmaj7
doorway.
    Dm                      C     
The uninvited guests in the 
                 Bbmaj7
mirror, and all of the frames.
Dm                         C
All the manic pleasure, to all the 
pleasured pain.
Dm                     Bb
All the tears made for another give 
away.
Dm                     C         
How cruel, the need to destroy 
         Bbmaj7
again and again.

[Chorus]
           F                     
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, 
        C
such a curios lover.
    Dm                         F  
But what my trouble loves only 
           C
turns me into rubble.
  F                           C
Below the baseboard comes the scream
 from the gallows.
   Dm                             
It flickers on the wall, the tall 
F
shadow from Saint Malo.
F                               Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.

[Chorus]
           F                     
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, 
        C
such a curios lover.
    Dm                         F  
But what my trouble loves only 
           C
turns me into rubble.
  F                           C
Below the baseboard comes the scream
 from the gallows.
   Dm                             
It flickers on the wall, the tall 
F
shadow from Saint Malo.
F                               Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.

[Chorus 2]
           Bb                    
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, 
        Dm
such a curios lover.
    Am                         Dm
But what my trouble loves only turns
 me into rubble.
  Bb                          F
Below the baseboard comes the scream
 from the gallows.
   Am                             
It flickers on the wall, the tall 
Dm
shadow from Saint Malo.

[Chorus 3]
Bb                   Dm
Come down destroyer, tie them to the
 chair.
Am              Dm
In the Mimizan, revolution’s in the 
air.
  Bb                           
Below the ship’s hull comes the 
 F
grinding of the shallows,
Am                            Dm
Working in the mess, the tall shadow
 from Saint Malo
