Wilde Love

King Charles

Continues after the ad
Key:
Intro: C | Em | Am | G
C Em All men kill the thing they love
Am G By all let this, by all let this be heard
C I never saw a man who looked with such a wistful eye
Em Upon that little tent of blue which prisoners call the sky
Am And at every drifting cloud that
G went with sails of silver by
C In Reading Gaol by Reading town
Em there is a pit of shame
Am And in it lies a wretched man
G all eaten by teeth of flame
C Em G The man had killed the thing he
Am loved
C Em G And so he had to die
C Em All men kill the thing they love
Am G By all let this, by all let this be heard
C Some kill their love when they are young
Continues after the ad
And some when they are old
Em Some strangle with the hands of Lust Some with the hands of Gold
Am The kindest use a knife, because
G The dead so soon grow cold
C And there till Christ call forth the dead,
Em In silence let him lie
Am No need to waste the foolish tear
G Nor heave the windy sigh
C Em G The man had killed the thing he
Am loved
C Em G And so he had to die
C All men kill (All men ki-i-ill)
Em the thing they love (The thing they lo-o-ove)
Am G By all let this, by all let this be heard [x2]
C Em Am G
C Some do it with a bitter look
Em Some with a flattering word
Am The coward does it with a kiss
G And the brave man with a sword
C Em G The man had killed the thing he
Am loved
C Em G And so he had to die
C All men kill (All men ki-i-ill)
Em the thing they love (The thing they lo-o-ove)
Am G By all let this, by all let this be heard
C Oh-o-oh (All men ki-i-ill)oh
Em Oh-Oh-o(The thing they lo-o-ove)oh
Am G Oh-oh-o,o Oh-Oh-o
