ARTHUR'S LAMENT
(Terra Used to be a Harmless World)
Words: Paul Bristow (after E. John, B. Taupin)
Music: Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word by E. John, B. Taupin
Key: Gm, xpose +7 = Dm
|Gm |Gm
|Cm |Cm |
What do I have to do to make you listen? |Gm |Cm |
What do I have to do to make you care? |F |Bb Cm D7 |
What do I do when lightning strikes me, |Gm |Cm |
and I wake to find my world's not there? |F |Bb Cm D7 |
What do I have to do to make you help me? |Gm |Cm |
What do I have to do to be heard? |F |Bb Cm D7 |
How can you just say that it's all over, |Gm |Cm |
and that my home used to be a "harmless" world? |F |Bb Cm D7 |
Its so sad, so sad - Its a mad, sad situation, |Gm D63 |Bb64 C63 |
and its getting more and more absurd! |Cm63 Dm |Gm Cm D7 |
The mice they blink twice and they |Gm D63 |
say they can just make it (all) over. |Bb64 C63 |
(pause)
Why can no one see? |Cm63 |
Terra used to be a harmless world... |Cm Dm7 | Gm |
What do I have to do to make you listen? |Gm |Cm |
What do I have to do to make you care? |F |Bb Cm D7 |
What do I do when lightning strikes me? |Gm |Cm |
Well it's just another hike for you, |Cm/A (D) |
but what am I to do? |Gm Cm |
Terra used to be a harmless world... |Cm63/A Dm7 |Gm |
