GA dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetery Cgates
Keats and DYeats are on Emyour side D C
While DWilde is on Gmine
Verse
GSo we go inside and we gravely read the Cstones
All those people all those Dlives
Where are they Emnow? D C
With Gloves, with hates
And passions just like Cmine
They were born
And then they Dlived
And then they Emdied D C
Which seems so unfair
DAnd I want to Gcry
Bridge
You say: "ere Bmthrice the sun hath door
Salutation to the Gdawn"
And you Bmclaim these words as your Gown
But CI'm well read, have Dheard them said
A hundred Emtimes (maybe less, maybe Cmore)
If you Gmust write prose and poems
The words you use should be your Cown
Don't plagiarise or Dtake "on Emloan" D C
Verse
There's always Gsomeone, somewhere
With a big nose, who Cknows
And who trips you up and Dlaughs
When you Emfall D C
Who'll trip you up and Dlaugh
When you Gfall
Bridge
You say: "ere Bmlong done do does Gdid"
BmWords which could only be your Gown
You Cthen produce the text
From Dwhence was ripped
(some dizzy Emwhore, C1804)
Verse
A dreaded Gsunny day
So let's go where we're happy
And I meet you at the cemetery Cgates
Keats and DYeats are on Emyour side D C
Verse
A dreaded Gsunny day
So let's go where we're wanted
And I meet you at the cemetery Cgates

While DWilde is on Gmine
