As Lucerne The Low

Am                           G   
There is no blues that can sound 
                       F  C
quite as heartfelt as mine
F                             Dm 
Lamented at the gorge of the 
                          F        
river, I watched it weep its banks 
Am
dry
Am                   G           
I hum the sorriest tune on the 
             F  C
bar at these dives
      F                       Dm  
Send all the patrons running home 
                        F         Am
to make up with their first wives


[Chorus]
          F    C
(But the low...)
          F    Am G
(And to bask...)
          F    C
(But the low...)
          F    Am G
(And to bask...)


[Verse 2]
Am                      G        
My prose is purple but not as 
          F  C
pretty as Lucerne
             F                     
For sweet nothings from the lips of
      Dm             F           Am
 a gargoyle, nobody ever yearned
Am                          
Perpetually a philistine, but 
    G                        F  C
darling, I am longing to learn
       F                        Dm
Been looked at like the rotten 
                       F        
grape on the vine, while you and 
                    Am
yours are drinking Sauternes

[Chorus]
          F  C
(But the low) is what I came for
          F           Am      G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do 
adore
          F  C
(But the low) is what I came for
          F           Am      G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do 
adore
          F  C
(But the low) is what I came for
          F           Am      G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do 
adore
          F  C
(But the low) is what I came for
          F           Am      
(And to bask) in a darkness I do 
G    F
adore
       C           F          Am  G
I do adore, I do adore, I do adore

F    C    F    Am G x2


[Verse 3]
           Am                 G   
I am the magpie's solo, the sorrow
                   F  C
 that makes you salute
F                           Dm   
Pounding the earth for the early 
                F                  
worm, I am a glutton but it's good 
         Am
for my glutes
       Am                        G
I was solace to the sirens, the 
                       F  C
bait on the fisherman's rod
F                              Dm
The hook took me far from my 
                   F   Am
family, but closer to God


[Chorus]
          F  C
(But the low) is what I came for
          F           Am      G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do 
adore
          F  C
(But the low) is what I came for
          F           Am      G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do 
adore
          F  C
(But the low) is what I came for
          F           Am      G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do 
adore
          F  C
(But the low) is what I came for
          F           Am      
(And to bask) in a darkness I do 
G    F
adore
                       C
(But the low) But the low is what I 
came for
         F             Am         
(And to bask) But the low is what 
   G         F
I came here for
                       C
(But the low) But the low is what I 
came for
         F             Am         
(And to bask) But the low is what 
   G         F
I came here for
