Tom: Bm
Bm F#
Come inside my mausoleum
Bm
Light a candle on the pathway to my casket room
F#
Step on through rusty iron archways
Bm
Where a pigeon lays that died without his lover
[Chorus]
Bm Em
So strange and beautiful
F# Bm
How you gaze upon my bones
G Em
A mistake, a tragedy
F# Bm
Since we missed each other by a century
[Verse 2]
Bm F#
They took my clothes and sent to a museum
Bm
All I am is dust and a handlebar mustachio
F#
They took my guns, and horse and swords for history
Bm
But they kindly left a photograph of you and me
[Chorus]
G Em
Your dress, so beautiful
F# Bm
On those cliffs that took your soul
G Em
Though I reached for you as you drifted out to sea
F# Bm
Since we missed each other by a century
[Bridge]
A G Bm
Your fine lips, I would kiss you again
A Em Bm
So don't be frightened by my skeleton
A G Bm
I'd kill to touch your soft, bony hands
F# A G Em F#
But I can't because this is my lover's century
[Chorus]
G Em
So strange, and beautiful
F# Bm
How you gaze upon my bones
G Em
Before you leave me out to sea
F# Bm
I'll visit your bones next century
