Intro: D   Em   A

[Verse 1]
                     D
And so the story goes they wore the clothes
                                                          Em              A
They said the things to make it seem improbable
                           D                                       Em  A
The whale of a lie like they hope it was
                 D
And the Goodmen Tomorrow had their feet in the wallow
                  Em
And their heads of Brawn were nicer shorn
          A                                                           D
And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust
                Em                                     A
And the world was asleep to our latent fuss
D         Em
.....Sighing, the swirl through the streets
A
Like the crust of the sun

[Chorus 1]
           Bm
The Bewlay Brothers
             A
In our Wings that Bark
                 G
Flashing teeth of Brass
                  F#
Standing tall in the dark
F#sus4      F#             Asus2
Oh, And we were Gone
                                       G
Hanging out with your Dwarf Men
                 G     G/F#     Em
We were so turned on
C
By your lack of conclusions

Interlude: D   Em   A

[Verse 2]
D
I was Stone and he was Wax
                                                               Em
So he could scream, and still relax, unbelievable
A                                               D                  Em  A
And we frightened the small children away
                D
And our talk was old and dust would flow through our veins
                                          Em
And Lo! it was midnight back at the kitchen door
A                                          D
Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor
Em                                            A                                  D
And the solid book we wrote cannot be found today
          Em                                           A
And it was stalking time for the Moonboys

[Chorus 2]
                        Bm
The Bewlay Brothers
                   A
With our backs on the arch
             G
In the Devil-may-be-here
                      F#
But He can't sing about that
F#sus4      F#            Asus2
Oh, And we were Gone
                    G
Real Cool Traders
                 G      G/F#       Em
We were so Turned On
                                        C
You thought we were Fakers

Interlude: D   Em   A

[Verse 3]
                         D
And now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned
                                                               Em
The Factor Max that proved the fact is melted down
A                                            D          Em   A
Woven on the edging of my pillow
                 D
Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks
         Em
He could be dead, He could be not, he could be You
             A                                                            D
He's Chameleon, Comedian, Corinthian and Caricature
Em                                       A
Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky
              D
Bewlay Brothers
              Em                       A
In the feeble and the Bad

[Chorus 3]
               Bm
Bewlay Brothers
               A
In the Blessed and Cold
             G
In the Crutch-hungry Dark
                           F#
Was where we flayed our Mark
F#sus4      F#            Asus2
Oh, and we were Gone
                   G
Kings of Oblivion
                                   Em
We were so Turned On
                                    C
In the Mind-Warp Pavilion

[Outro]
Bm                           C
Lay me place and bake me pie
          F                      Bm
I'm starving for me Gravy
Bm                                C
Leave my shoes, and door unlocked
       F                     Bm
I might just slip away, hey
                     F
Just for the Day, Hey!
                                Bm
Hey, Please come Away, Hey!
                     F
Just for the Day
                        Bm
Please come away...
