[Verse 1]
[C]Please, remember [G]me happi[F]ly
By the [C]rosebush [G]laughing
[C]With bruises on my [G]chin
The time [F]when
we counted [C]every black [G]car passing
[Am]Your house beneath the [G]hill
And up un[F]til
Someone [C]caught us in the [G]kitchen
[Am]With maps, a mountain [G]range
A piggy [F]bank
A vision [C]too removed to [G]mention

[Verse 2]
[C]But please, remember [G]me fond[F]ly
I heard from [C]someone you're [G]still pretty
[C]And then they went on to [G]say
That the pearly [F]gates
had some [C]el oquent graf[G]fi ti
[Am]Like 'We'll meet a[G]gain'
And 'Fuck the [F]man'
And 'Tell my [C]mother not to [G]worry'
[Am]And angels with their [G]gray hands[F]hakes
And always [C]done in such a [G]hurry

[Verse 3]
[C]And please, remember [G]me at Hallow[F]een
Making [C]fools of all the [G]neighbours
[C]Our faces painted [G]white
By mid[F]night we'd for[C]gotten one an[G]other
[Am]And when the morning c[G]ame I was as[F]hamed
Only [C]now it seems [G]so silly
[Am]That season left the [G]world and then re[F]turned
And now you're [C]lit up by the [G]city

[Verse 4]
[C]So please, remember [G]me mistaken[F]ly
In the [C]window of the [G]tallest tower
[C]Call then pass us [G]by
But much too [F]high
To see the [C]empty road at [G]happy hour
[Am]Leave and reso[G]nate
Just like the [F]gates around the [C]ho ly [G]kingdom
[Am]With words like 'Lost and [G]Found'
and 'Don't [F]Look Down'
And 'Someone [C]Save Temp[G]ta tion'

[Verse 5]
[C]And please, remember [G]me as in the [F]dream
We had as [C]rug- burned [G]ba bies
[C]A mong the fallen t[G]rees and fast a[F] sleep
Beside the [C]li ons and the [G]la dies
[Am]That called you what you [G]like
and even [F]might
Give a [C]gift for your be[G]havior
[Am]A fleeting chance to see[G] a trape[F]ze
Swing as [C]high as any [G]savior

[Verse 6]
[C]But please, remember [G]me, my miser[F]y
And how it [C]lost me all I [G]wanted
[C]Those dogs that love the [G]rain
And chas[F]ing trains
The colored [C]birds above [G]there running
[Am]In circles round the w[G]ell
And where it [F]spells
On the [C]wall behind [G]St. Peter's
[Am]So bright on cinder gr[G]ay and spray p[F]aint
'Who the [C]hell can see for[G]ev er?'

[Verse 7]
[C]And please, remember [G]me seldom[F]ly
In the [C]car behind the [G]carnival
[C]My hand between [G]your knees
You turn [F]from me
And said 'The [C]trapeze act was [G]wonderful
[Am]But never meant to l[G]ast'
The clowns that [F]passed
Saw me [C]just come up with [G]an ger
When [Am]it filled with circus d[G]ogs
The parking [F]lot had an [C]el ement of [G]danger

[Verse 8]
[C]So please, remember [G]me final[F]ly
And all my [C]up hill [G]clawing
[C]My dear but if I [G]make the [F]pearly gates
Do my [C]best to make a [G]drawing
[Am]Of God and Lucif[G]er, a boy an[F]d girl
An angel [C]kissing on a [G]sinner
[Am]A monkey and a m[G]an, a marching[F] band
All a[C]round the frightened [G]trapeze swingers
