Beaujolais Day

Am  Am  Am  Am

[Verse 1]
          Am
I went to Morrison's grave at Pere Lachaise cemetery
Am                                                  C
   The stony flowers and the matching graffiti were guiding me
       C
To the steps inside of me

    Fmaj7
And what would you do if I got down on my knees to you
Fmaj7
   What would you do if I lied to your face
          C
Could you still hold your dreams
          C
Could you live with your silent face

[Chorus 1]
   Fmaj7
So what would you do, would you walk right through me
          Am
Would you stand in the way like the others before
Fmaj7                                      Am
Get in the way, would you drink to me next Beaujolais Day

Fmaj7
Tell me the truth, save a prayer for me
        Am
I would love to leave, but you'd cry all night long
Fmaj7                              Am
Eternal romantic victory failed on Beaujolais Day

Am  Am  Am  Am

[Verse 2]
          Am
I heard a wheelchair whisper across a stale and silent gymnasium
            Am                       C
Trailing an Ivy League jacket like a matador
            C
Through the jitterbug steps of the night before

            Fmaj7
Through the chalk white chill and tear fandango
Fmaj7
Heading away to the inner wrangle
      C
Do we cry for a cell
      C
Do we need for a cell

[Chorus 2]
Fmaj7
What would you do, would you cry for me
          Am
Could you set off cool, could we go gently
Fmaj7                                             Am
Blame it away, do you really want to head for the open door

Fmaj7
Got to crack a bottle while you dream for me
        Am
Just an absent friend and a misery
Fmaj7
Laying awake, do we stay right there
     Am
Till Beaujolais Day

On Beaujolais Day

[Chorus 3]
   Em
So what would you do, would you lie to me
          Em
Would you sit right back in a victory
              D
Oh, would you play for me
          D
Could you die for me
   C
So what would you do, would you walk right through me
C                                     G
Heading away saying it's just another victory
        G
This is Beaujolais Day
