Camels Swapped for Wives King Creosote
Just a rough version of this beautifully poetic little ditty from the kingdom's finest...
VERSE 1
[A]A postcard arrives
[A]I see you're on your walk well I hope the promised land
[F#m]Is more than sand and rocks and camels swapped for wives
[E]Before you saddle up
[E]Before your Judas knocks 3 times and betrays you to the cops
[Em]Spare a thought for our worries over your state of mind
[A]So what if you leave behind some trouble with the law?
It's not so long since your attemp[F#m]t to crucify their dog
Your chosen one, the one whose cross w[E]ill blaze on high
To warn us that meteoric retribution falls down from the skies[Em]
Well I don't give a fuck about that
CHORUS
[Bm](Cos you canno[E]t)(?) be still my brother
[Bm](An ancient me[E]mory)(?), Father, Mother
[Bm]Don't take the[E]m down any further
[A]Just 'cos hel[D]l won't leave[Bm] you alone
[A]Just 'cos hel[D]l won't l-e-a[Dm]-v-e you alone..[A].
VERSE 2
[A]You swan in Craigtoun Pond
[A]Clad only in your socks
[F#m]And you've ran naked in the snow
Upon your Calgary Rock
You've watched us with the D[E]evil's Eye half closed behind your mind
You know the day, the date, the time, but not the why[Em]
Well I don't give a fuck about that!
CHORUS
[Bm](Cos you canno[E]t)(?) be still my brother
[Bm](An ancient me[E]mory)(?), Father, Mother
[Bm]Don't take the[E]m down any further
[A]Just 'cos hel[Bm]l won't leav[D]e you alone
[A]Just 'cos hel[Bm]l won't leav[D]e you alone
[A]Just 'cos hel[Bm]l won't l-e-[Dm]a-v-e you alone.[A]..
CODA (x4)
[A]Gonna help bring you up[E]
Won't leav[D]e you on your own
You know that hell w[Bm]on't leave you alone...[A]
