[Intro]
C
...
[Verse 1]
C
..God died today
Am
He left me in the cold
F
He stumbled down a path
Em
He died upon his knees on
G
The way to the commode
[Verse 2]
C
God died today
Am
He skid in pouring rain
F
With his feet up on the dash
Em
Right off the Chelsea Bridge, Lord
Dm
Was hardly seen again
[Chorus]
F C G Dm
.....The gigs were overlong.....
F
And most of them mundane
C
And the weather climbed
G Dm
To twenty-something centigrade
F C G Dm
And I,....I've never been in London this time of year
F C G Dm
It's nice,...but I couldn't wait to slowly disappear
[Verse 3]
F C
..He died today
Am
And he did it with a smile
F
Threw his body in the bag
Em
Threw on the ITV, Lord
G
And laughed a little while
[Verse 4]
C
In a kind of way
Am
It makes me feel at home
F
Superfluous as ****
Em
Digestible and free, Lord
Dm
Within reach and my control
Throw the kettle on
[Chorus]
F C G Dm
.......The gigs were overlong......
F
And none of us got paid
C
And the weather climbed
G Dm
To thirty-something centigrade
F C G Dm
And Christ, you ever been in London this time of year?
F C G Dm
It's nice, think I remembered why I liked it here
[Interlude]
F
..Tuia i runga
Tuia i raro
Ka tangi te titi
C
Ka tangi te kaka
Ka tangi hoki aha
G
Ko te timatanga te kupu
Ko te atua te kupu
Dm
Ko te atua ano atua kupu i te timatanga
E pa e manaakitia matau
C
E nga hou e wha moana nu a kiwa
He aha te mea nui o te ao
G
He tangata
He tangata
He tangata
[Bridge]
F
..You raised me up now
C
And pulled me out of my mind
G
And filled me with significance
I cannot describe
F
..The tunes were overdone
C
The well was all but dry
And I still believe
G
Magnificent isn't hard to find
[Chorus]
Dm F
And I'm.....convalescing slowly day by day
C G
It's nice, I'm still in London, living, by the way
Dm F C
And I.....wanna live it like it's worth something in time
G F
I gotta give it time, give it time, give it time
[Outro]
F Am G
..........
F Am G
..........
F C G F Em G
......................
Dm
How normal all the tragic feels
C G
How tragic all the normal is
F
Thereafter, the laughter
C G
The real enraptured
Dm
But anyway, I plan to stay
C G
Attend the weekly football game
F C G
Thereafter, thereafter....
Dm
Tagaloa cried and said, "Though part of you is dead
C G
Don't waste a minute of this thing you have left"
Dm F
And he picked me up just like a father
C G F Em G
And carried me south-east, where the city was calling...........
F C G Bb Am G F
