Gentlemen

Em F#/D G Am C G

[CHORUS]

G       D              G  C G
Gentlemen, I tell you now,
C             G
I swear the truth
   Em D/F# G     Am        C       G  D G D/F#
I saw the table rise, the teacup flew

[VERSE 1]

      Bm                             G
From tempered glass I built the apparatus
     Bm                           G
to alight in the presence of phantasmus
 Am                         Em
Filaments within detect a change,
   Am                         Em   D
in aero-pressure, barometric waves

[CHORUS]

G       D          G
Gentlemen, in the name of science!
C                      G
Gentlemen, I now can prove:
    Em D/F# G         Am       C        G    D G D/F#
the unseen world is close, it pushes through

[INTERLUDE]

Bm G Bm G Am Em Am Em D

[CHORUS]

G       D       G
Gentlemen, the lights blew out!
C                        G
Gentlemen, the curtains moved!
    Em D/F# G       Am         C        G    D G D/F#
A world of light resides just past our view

[VERSE 2]

    Bm                       G
Within the crooks of vacuum tubes
   Bm                         G
a caged spirit lit aglow the room
 Am                             Em
Burst forth from the shattered tube
     Am                                  Em  D
It thinned my blood, burnt me, ravaged cruel

[CHORUS]

G       D       G
Gentlemen, the lights do flicker!
C                      G
Gentlemen, the air it cools!
       Em D/F# G     Am       C        G    D G
Who's with me here, listening in this room?

[OUTRO]

N.C.
Gentlemen, the world grows dark!
N.C.
Gentlemen, the curtains moved!
N.C.
Who's with me here, whispering in this room?
