Strum
D-DU-UDU
You went looking for shelter...in all the wrong spaces
You grew gluttonous and famous...with faces
Nameless and blank, superstitiously you name them
St. Christopher and Johanna, St. Christopher and Johanna
St. Christopher and Johanna
Overcome with the holiday spirit
Mark says the herald angels won't hear it
And remember, the wolves that you run with are wolves
Don't forget
They exist to give you something to regret, I'll be there too
with something sadder than that brass portrait
which shines through your morning, dim.
Something sadder than that brass portrait
which shines through your morning, dim
I'll give you something to be sad about
Hey, the picture really capture your mouth
Poised to say: It's your turn to go down now,
it's your turn to go down now
It's your turn to go down now.
It's your turn to go down now...in the spirit of giving
* x3 (*see below)
in
Cloud prayer Mary, come ah----on? etc
Notes:
*Asterisked chords aren't really chords, just a chromatic riff.
*But you can play G and A7 and get away with it, I think.
I think this is what the guitar plays. The note in parenthesis is just
meant to be a glimpse of where the repeat it going.
A7
----5-------5-------5-------5-------5-------5----------------- repeat
--7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-------------------
7-------7-------6-------6-------5-------5------4-3-4-5-6-2-4-6-(7)
-----------------------------------------------2-1-2-3-4-0-2-4-(5)
The last time a guitar does something like this at the G-A7 spot
(note I changed it to G-D7 here) leading into the G D A part.
8-7-6-5-6---7---(8)---
Horns and whatnot do something like this at various times
