VERSE
[Am]Freedom for the scape goat, let him rot in [D]jail
[Am]Gloomy eyes, just p**sed his heart like crucifixion na[D]ils
[Am]Shake his fists and raise his beam, he [Bm/A]never stood a chance
When the [Am]angry red[G] mob on [Bb/F]Fleet [F]Street you [E7]turned your eyes to [Am]friends

VERSE
[Am]Humble thought from Dublin chased across the wa[D]ves
[Am]Your body still sharp enough to slice through every p[D]age
[Am]Destitute and beaten by the [Bm/A]system of the crown
The [Am]bitter [G]pill you [Bb/F]swall[F]owed take the [E7]sweet of going [Am]down
CHORUS
And [Dm]looking back with a g[E7]reat indif[Am]ference
[Dm]Looking back at the [E7]lime stone [Am]walls
[Bb]Thinking how beauty de[Am]ceived you
[Dm]Knowing how the fools are [E7sus]fought[E7]

VERSE
A [Am]golden boy in velvet [D]landed in New York
The [Am]past was so seductive when they paid to hear you t[D]alk
[Am]Baccarat and champagne flutes, to[Bm/A]bacco from Virginia
[Am]Long be[G]fore the [Bb/F]lords and [F]Lord granted [E7]Oscar Wilde a [Am]sinner
CHORUS
[Dm]Looking back on a [E7]cold, bleak wi[Am]nter
[Dm]Looking back on those [E7]long, dark [Am]days
[Bb]Set like the head of Joan the [Am]Baptist
[Dm]In the other sour [E7sus]May[E7]

BREAKDOWN
[Am]Don't turn around if you watch out screaming
[D]Don't cry out loud, you never know who's listening
You've s[F]een it all the [C]exiled Unfor[G7]given
From the [Bb]stately homes of [F]England to her [Am]prisons
[Am]Looking back at the hard life
[D]Looking back at the wretched war
[F]Taken back [C]there for my [G7]savior
[Bb]Strange to think I'll [F]miss them [Am]all
[Bb]Strange to thing I'll [F]miss them [Am]all
CHORUS
And [Dm]looking back with a g[E7]reat indif[Am]ference
[Dm]Looking back at the [E7]lime stone [Am]walls
[Bb]Thinking how beauty de[Am]ceived you
[Dm]Knowing how the fools are [E7sus]fought[E7]
