Grace Cathedral Hill

G

G                          Em
Grace Cathedral hill, all wrapped in
bones of a setting sun,
  C
all dust and stone and moribund.
        D
I paid twenty-five cents to
         D7
Light a little white candle
G
for a New Year's Day.
  Em
I sat and watched it burn away
    C
then turned and weaved through slow decay.
        D
We were both a little hungry,
       D7
so we went to get a hotdog,

G
down the Hyde St. Pier.
    Em
The light was slight and dissapeared.
   C
The air, it stunk of fish and beer.
            D                       D7
We heard a superman trumpet play the National Anthem.

C                     G    Em   C
And the world may be long for you,
                   G    Em   C
but he'll never belong to you.
                     Cm
But on a motorbike,
                          D                D7
when all the city lights blind your eyes tonight,
                  C          D
are you feeling better now?
                G            Em
Are you feeling better now?
                C            Cm
Are you feeling better now?

G
Some way to greet the year:
     Em
your eyes all bright and brimmed with tears.
   C
The pilgrims, pills and tourists here all sing
  D                        D7
"Fifty-three bucks to buy a brand new halo."
G                              Em
Sweet on a green-eyed girl, all fiery
                         C
Irish clip and curl, all brine and piss and vinegar.
       D                           D7
I paid twenty-five cents to light a little white candle.

C                     G    Em   C
And the world may be long for you,
                   G    Em   C
but he'll never belong to you.

Are you feeling better now?

G         Em        C         Cm
la la la, la la la, la la la.
             G
ooh la la la la.
