Mausoleum

Bm                  F#
Come inside my mausoleum
Light a candle on the pathway to my 
Bm
casket room
                           F#
Step on through rusty iron archways
Where a pigeon lays that died 
            Bm
without his lover


[Chorus]
   Bm                Em
So strange and beautiful
        F#           Bm
How you gaze upon my bones
  G                Em
A mistake, a tragedy
         F#                    
Since we missed each other by a 
       Bm
century

[Verse 2]
Bm                                
They took my clothes and sent to a
      F#
 museum
All I am is dust and a handlebar 
       Bm
mustachio
They took my guns, and horse and 
           F#
swords for history
But they kindly left a photograph of
 Bm
 you and me


[Chorus]
     G               Em
Your dress, so beautiful
         F#                    Bm
On those cliffs that took your soul
         G                     
Though I reached for you as you 
                 Em
drifted out to sea
         F#                    
Since we missed each other by a 
       Bm
century


[Bridge]
A           G                    
Your fine lips, I would kiss you 
    Bm
again
   A        Em             
So don't be frightened by my 
        Bm
skeleton
A           G                     
I'd kill to touch your soft, bony 
Bm
hands
      F#             A   G  
But I can't because this is my 
           Em   F#
lover's century


[Chorus]
   G                    Em
So strange, and beautiful
        F#           Bm
How you gaze upon my bones
       G                   Em
Before you leave me out to sea
      F#                         Bm
I'll visit your bones next century
