Charlemagne

E
The manager is waiting to be paid
Along with priests and deacons of 
      A  E
his court
A quartermaster, quite a man, a 
 A
mistress of the line
                                E
Has found a last cent avenue of pain

A Mardi Gras just passed this way a 
while ago
Making hungry people of us all
Along the Mississippi you can hear 
the fiddlers play
Fandangos and boleros to the lord

 A           E
Many times, many tried,
A                      E
Simple stories are the best
A             E
Keep in mind, the wishful kind,
A                           E
Don't wanna be like all the rest.

My uncle was a vicar in the big 
parade
Selling fountain pens that never 
write
San Sebastian gamblers never cheat 
nor lie
They know good fences make good 
neighbours

B                           A
I wish I knew what time of year it 
was
B                           A
What kind of people will be there
B                          A
When gruesome tales of two cities 
ran
A7              E
Running all the way

Father might have heard his prayers 
were answered
Inhibitions all the way from home
Consider now, consider then before 
the deed is done
The blood of consolation runs so 
true

Chorus
