Up the Tower Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]I gave him a c[G]igarette[F]
So he opened up his [E]head
The man forever on the [Em]corner
He called it his pre-vision:
[E]Unhorse

[Verse 2]
[F]Unhorse for me,
dear [G]sir[F]
The marble emperor
[E][Em]
[E]Defenestrate the king
[Em][E][F]

[Verse 3]
The howling waves of people crashing
through the [Adim]first bl[Am]ockade[E]
The guards - they washed
[F]away[E][F]
They thundered up the stairwell until
they reached that golden [E]door
They knocked [F]upon the [E]golden [Eb]door
[Am]Knock[F]

[Verse 4]
[Am]it d[F]own[Eb][F]
[Eb][Ebm][Eb][F][Ebm][F]

[Verse 5]
The portraits in the [G]hallway [F]look better
smashed [Eaug]upon the[E] f[Em]loor
Gaudy [E]baubles - turned
[Eaug]to dust[E][Em][E][F]
The hatred he brewed within [G]us [F]is now
crashing loud upon [E]his [Em]shore
[E]The vultures [Eaug]returned to
[Em]roost

[Interlude 1]

[C]What a [G]lovely

[Verse 6]
[F]view[C]
[G]Horizon looks like [F]fire[C]
Open [G]up the window,
[F]let[C] the li[G]ght [Am]in

[Verse 7]
[F]Throw [Am]him [F]out[Am][F]

[Interlude 2]
[F][Am][F][Am][F][Eb]

From [G]the [F]window[C]
What a [G]lovely [F]dream
