Grace Cathedral Hill

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.

We heard a superman trumpet play 
 D7
the National Anthem.

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

But on a motorbike,
                          D        
when all the city lights blind your
        D7
 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                              
Sweet on a green-eyed girl, all 
Em
fiery
                         C
Irish clip and curl, all brine and 
piss and vinegar.
       D                           
I paid twenty-five cents to light a
D7
 little white candle.
