  A dreaded sunny day

                                  C

  So I meet you at the cemetery gates

              D           Em       D   C

  Keats and Yeats are on your side

  G

  A dreaded sunny day

                                  C

  So I meet you at the cemetery gates

              D           Em       D   C

  Keats and Yeats are on your side

          D          G

  While Wilde is on mine

  

  G                                         C

  So we go inside and we gravely read the stones

                               D

  All those people all those lives

                Em D C

  Where are they now?

         G

  With loves, with hates

                          C

  And passions just like mine

  

  They were born

                  D

  And then they lived

               Em D C

  And then they died

  

  Which seems so unfair

  D              G

  And I want to cry

  

                 Bm

  You say: "ere thrice the sun hath door

                     G

  Salutation to the dawn"

           Bm                        G

  And you claim these words as your own

       C                   D

  But I'm well read, have heard them said

             Em                       C

  A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)

  

          G

  If you must write prose and poems

                                    C

  The words you use should be your own

                       D      Em D C

  Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"

                    G

  There's always someone, somwhere

                         C

  With a big nose, who knows

                             D

  And who trips you up and laughs

          Em D C

  When you fall

                           D

  Who'll trip you up and laugh

            G

  When you fall

  

                 Bm                G

  You say: "ere long done do does did"

   Bm                             G

  Words which could only be your own

       C

  You then produce the text

         D

  From whence was ripped

               Em     C

  (some dizzy whore, 1804)

  

              G

  A dreaded sunny day

  

  So let's go where we're happy

                                  C

  And I meet you at the cemetery gates

              D           Em       D   C

  Keats and Yeats are on your side

              G

  A dreaded sunny day

  

  So let's go where we're wanted

                                   C

  And I meet you at the cemetery gates

              D           Em       D   C

  Keats and Yeats are on your side - but you lose

          D          G

  While Wilde is on mine
