EmG
I dreamt that I was lying on the bottom of
CBAGF
The dark and never-ending sea
EmG
On a bed that my dead lover was preparing
CBAGF
With his own skeleton for me
[Bridge]
Em
Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
G
Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain
[Verse 2]
EmG
I sensed the wretched spectres of the drowned
CB
Staring across from some distant shore
EmG
And in my sadness I drew closer
CBAGF
To condole and somewhat to implore
[Verse 3]
EmG
I am like the doubtful kiss of a corpse
CBAGF
Or maybe the kiss of an ancient stone
EmG
Yes, it's like kissing some marble statue
CBAGF
That has neither warmth nor life of its own
[Bridge 2]
Em
Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound
G
On the cell where your love might be found
[Instrumental 1]
Em G C B A G F x2
EmCGEm
[Pre-verse]
C
Cover the mirrors, fragile has died
DEm
Leaving but a starless ruin behind
CDEm
Shatter the mirrors, so that he can never be called
CDEm
Back from the blessed silence of his sacred vault
[Verse 4]
G
No, no, no, put an end to the show
CBAGF
I'm going back to the land where the bone-flowers grow
EmG
To "the wild, weird clime that lieth, sublime
CBAGF
Out of Space and out of Time"
[Verse 5]
EmG
See the shape, but can't see through
CBAGF
No-one can ever hate me as well as I do
EmG
Know when to throw a laugh, know how to force a smile
CBAGF
Whatever the intention, I'm such a "friendly" lie
[Bridge 3]
Em
Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him
G
It shall open the gates, so we can sneak you in
[Instrumental 2]
Em G C B A G F x3
[Verse 6]
EmG
"Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
CB
Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain
EmG
Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound
CB
On to the cell, where your love might be found
EmG
Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him
CB
It will open the gates, so we can sneak you in
EmG
Oh, it's cold and so dark here, and you must keep in mind
CB
No-one can get you out, if you overstep time
[Verse 7]
EmG
"Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
CB
Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain
EmG
Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound
CB
On to the cell, where your love might be found
EmG
Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him
CB
It will open the gates, so we can sneak you in
EmG
Oh, it's cold and so dark here, and you must keep in mind
CB
No-one can get you out, if you overstep time
[Outro]
EmG
"Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
CB
Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain
EmG
Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound
CB
On to the cell, where your love might be found
EmG
Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him
CB
It will open the gates, so we can sneak you in
