[Intro]
C…
[Verse 1]
C..God died today
AmHe left me in the cold
FHe stumbled down a path
EmHe died upon his knees on
GThe way to the commode
[Verse 2]
CGod died today
AmHe skid in pouring rain
FWith his feet up on the dash
EmRight off the Chelsea Bridge, Lord
DmWas hardly seen again
[Chorus]
F C G Dm….The gigs were overlong…..
FAnd most of them mundane
CAnd the weather climbed
G DmTo twenty-something centigrade
F C G DmAnd I,…I’ve never been in London this time of year
F C G DmIt’s nice,…but I couldn’t wait to slowly disappear
[Verse 3]
F C..He died today
Am
And B? did it with a smile
FThrew his body in the bag
EmThr?w on the ITV, Lord
GAnd laughed a little while
[Verse 4]
CIn a kind of way
AmIt makes me feel at home
FSuperfluous as ****
EmDigestible and free, Lord
DmWithin reach and my control
Throw the kettle on
[Chorus]
F C G Dm……The gigs were overlong……
FAnd none of us got paid
CAnd the weather climbed
G DmTo thirty-something centigrade
F C G DmAnd Christ, you ever been in London this time of year?
F C G DmIt’s nice, think I remembered why I liked it here
[Interlude]
F..Tuia i runga
Tuia i raro
Ka tangi te titi
CKa tangi te kaka
Ka tangi hoki aha
GKo te timatanga te kupu
Ko te atua te kupu
DmKo te atua ano atua kupu i te timatanga
E pa e manaakitia matau
CE nga hou e wha moana nu a kiwa
He aha te mea nui o te ao
GHe tangata
He tangata
He tangata
[Bridge]
F..You raised me up now
CAnd pulled me out of my mind
GAnd filled me with significance
I cannot describe
F..The tunes were overdone
CThe well was all but dry
And I still believe
GMagnificent isn’t hard to find
[Chorus]
Dm FAnd I’m….convalescing slowly day by day
C GIt’s nice, I’m still in London, living, by the way
Dm F CAnd I….wanna live it like it’s worth something in time
G FI gotta give it time, give it time, give it time
[Outro]
F Am G……….
F Am G……….
F C G F Em G…………………
DmHow normal all the tragic feels
C GHow tragic all the normal is
FThereafter, the laughter
C GThe real enraptured
DmBut anyway, I plan to stay
C GAttend the weekly football game
F C GThereafter, thereafter….
DmTagaloa cried and said, “Though part of you is dead
C GDon’t waste a minute of this thing you have left”
Dm FAnd he picked me up just like a father
C G F Em GAnd carried me south-east, where the city was calling……….
F C G A# Am G F…………………..
