Last Of The Blacksmiths Lyrics

(the | means a new measure and the / means the bass note on the current
chord.)

 

 |eb |c |eb |c |

 

 Eb			 |g-/bb 		|

 Who robbed the cradle, who robbed the grave

 C		      |f-		  |

 Who's the one that asked to be saved

 Bb / / bo7    |c- db	   |ab /gb /gb /f |

 No, wo-wo-wo no answer came

 Eb		      |g-/bb		   |

 I moved to the country  that cried of shame

 C		   |f-		   |

 I left my home and found a name

 Bb / / bo7    |c- db	     |ab /gb /gb /f |

 No, wo-wo-wo nobody could explain

 

 C-/g /c   /eb	  /g	   |ab	   /   /bb / ab |

 Have mercy, cried the blacksmith

 C-/g /c		 /eb	 /g   |ab   /  /bb / ab |

 How're you gonna replace human hands

 C-/g /c    /eb	   /g	   |ab	   /   /bb / ab |

 Found guilty, said the judge

 C-/g    /c  /eb	 /g   |ab   |ab(7) ||eb |c |eb |c ||

 For not being in demand

 

 Verse:

 Frozen fingers at the keyboard

 Could this be the big reward

 No, no answer came

 Brought up everybody to see for themselves

 They wouldn't believe it from no one else

 No, nobody could explain

 

 Chorus:

 Dead tongue said the poet

 To the daughter of burlesque

 Cocteau, van gogh and geronimo

 C-/g /c     /eb     /g      |ab    |ab(7) ||eb |c |eb |c ||

 They used up what was left

 

 |bb(7) |/ |/ |/ |bb(7) |/ |/ |/ / / bo7 |

 

 Chorus:

 Cry wolf, said the martyr

 I don't believe i'm alive

 You're the hero, said the mute

 C-/g /c	   /eb	    /g |ab    |ab(7) ||eb |c |eb |c ||

 And you're bound to sur-vive

 

 Outro: |f7 |bb7 |eb(7) |/ |/ |/ |/  to fade
