Lark's tongues in aspic part iii Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Lar[C#]ks To[G]ng[C#]ues
in Aspic part [G]two
From Larks [Cm]Tongues [G]boxset in
[C#]2012

[Verse 2]
There's a single piece of music that has defined [C#]King Crimson
Particularly in life perform
[G]ance over the years
It's probably Larks Tongues
In Aspic part [Eb]two[Cm][Eb]
[C#]21st century Schizo Man
somewhat surprisingly
[G]Has[Cm] only been played spo[G]radically by [C#]dif[G]
ferent line- ups over the [C#]years[G]

[Verse 3]
By contrast Lark Tongues part [C#]two has [G]been a regu
[C#]lar fea[G]ture in the set list
Subversively all the line- ups since it was first released
[Eb]in 1[C#]973[G][C#][Ab][C#][G][C#][G]
As it's pop[C#]ularity,
[G]is because [Cm]it can be seen as a very [G]sensual [C#]piece
Robert Frip[Ab]p has[C#] described it [Bb]as f[G]ollowing
the [Cm]con [G]tours of the sexual [C#]pro cess
[Eb]In f[C#]act, the 1974French[G]
soft porn [C#]movie "Emmanuel"
[G]Ripped off[C#] the music as [G]the soundtrack
[C#]for the sex scenes
This was in the days before DVD or video
So [G]Robert Frip[Cm]p wa[C#]s sent by his manage
[G]ment [C#]into a cinema in [G]Paris
Armed with [C#]a cassette machine to record
[G]the soundtrack [Cm]and give his o[C#]pinion[Ab][Eb]
[Cm]There was a protracted legal dispute,
[C#]eventually [Eb]he was [C#]duly acknowledged [G]as the writer[C#][G][Ab][C#]

[Verse 4]
[G]With so [C#]many versions of this piece
over such a long period
[Cm]There's [C#]been some heated [G]discussion
about which to include [C#]in this [G]series[C#]
[G]Over the yea[C#]rs, it's been pla[G]yed very dif[Cm]
ferently [C#]and at [G]very different t[C#]empos
[G]I was [C#]just[G] listening to the vers[Cm]ion
[C#]from [G]Mexico City in 1996
And if this is lovemaking,
then it's unbelievably quick [C#]and energetic[G]
By contrast, the version we [Cm]fi
nally [G]chosen
Is a fascinating incomplete snippet from the studio
sessions in London in [C#]1973
While the piece [G]was still being recorded
It has a [C#]war en[G]ergy as well as a rare chance to hear
John Wetton's wonderful bass playing exposed
So here it is Lark Tongues
In Aspic part two
From Larks Tongues boxset in 2012
