Cemetery Gates

Key: CMedium

CDG

GA dreaded sunny day

So I meet you at the cemetery gaCtes

Keats and YeDats are on yEmour side D C

GA dreaded sunny day

So I meet you at the cemetery gaCtes

Keats and YeDats are on yEmour side D C

While WiDlde is on mGine

GSo we go inside and we gravely read the stCones

All those people all those liDves

Where are theyEm noDw?C

With loGves, with hates

And passions just like mCine

They were born

And then they liDved

And then theyEm diDedC

Which seems so unfair

DAnd I want to cGry

You say: "ere tBmhrice the sun hath door

Salutation to the dGawn"

And you cBmlaim these words as your oGwn

But IC'm well read, have hDeard them said

A hundred tEmimes (maybe less, maybe mCore)

If you mGust write prose and poems

The words you use should be your oCwn

Don't plagiarise or tDake "onEm loDanC"

There's always somGeone, somwhere

With a big nose, who knCows

And who trips you up and laDughs

When youEm faDllC

Who'll trip you up and laDugh

When you fGall

You say: "ere lBmong done do does dGid"

WBmords which could only be your oGwn

You tChen produce the text

From whDence was ripped

(some dizzy wEmhore, 1C804)

A dreaded suGnny day

So let's go where we're happy

And I meet you at the cemetery gCates

Keats and YeDats are on yEmour side D C

A dreaded suGnny day

So let's go where we're wanted

And I meet you at the cemetery gaCtes

Keats and YeDats are on yEmour side D- buCt you lose

While WiDlde is on mGine

(Then it ends the same as intro)
