[C]I play the[Am] role of a

[Verse 1]
[Bb]fool [Am]-[Bb]
the [Bbm]townfolk's ful[Bb]crum [Am]of ri[D]dicu[C#m]le,
[E]of [A]t t[Am]o appear t[Bb]hrou[C]gh
[Bb]prisming beer
to the newly- [F]ar rived here,
[Dm]not as I a[F]m but [C]how they p[D]refer.

[Verse 2]
[Bb]I saw Ruth atop a dun Cl[Am]ydesdale
in a pilgrim's [Bb]caravan
[Am]queueing at the toll- house now and
[Bb]then revealed by a sheet of [Am]lightning,
my [F]heart [E]- stolen in a flash.

[Verse 3]
[C#m]Morning [D]up, [Bm]I went to [E]their camp.[C#m]
A cross- eye ju[D]venile [Bm]ushered
me to the orch[E]ard
[C#m]where she lay [D]sketching [Bm]the
spires of the col[E]lege
[C#m]and bade me wel[D]come as if [Bm]we were old frie[E]nds.

[Verse 4]
Ruth and I were [Am]inseparable
[Bb]over the [Bbdim]course of[Bbm]
that [Bb]haunted [Dm]spring.
[Am]Our midnight trysts unquietly twisted
the [Bb]blade of our bodies in
a wound [Am]made
[Dm]several [F]hundred [C]lif[D]espans ago.

[Verse 5]
[Bb]At the end of a skull- lined a[Am]venue
in the almshouse [Bb]catacombs
she [Am]looked me squarely in the [E]eyes and
[Bb]sadly sighed, "my [Am]darling....
I [F]don't want this to [E]happen any more".

[Verse 6]
[C#m]Love is o[D]ld, o[Bm]lder than t[E]he sun...[C#m]
A dreadful ma[D]gic more
[Bm]powerful than [E]evil.[C#m]
Love, love is [D]old, [Bm]older than [E]the sun.
[C#m]The impossib[D]le engine[Bm] of
a hid[E]den [C#m]world.

[Verse 7]
Down at the whar[D]f
[Bm]I watched them load[E][C#m]
their frightene[D]d animals
[Bm]aboard [E]a waiting [C#m]flyboat.
I hurled [D]my bottle of [Bm]wine
into [E]it's foamy wake
[C#m]and made a prom[D]ise I[Bm]
could never not [E]break.

[Verse 8]
[E]
[C#m]Love is o[D]ld, o[Bm]lder than t[E]he sun,
[C#m]a dreadful ma gic[D][Bm][E][C#m][D][Bm][E][C#m][D][Bm][E][A][C#m]

[E]evil.
