              Dm                 Fmaj7
                  A pistol shot at five o clock
              E7                                Bb
                  The bells of heaven ring
              A7                            Dm
                  Tell me what you done it for
                           F                        C       A7
                  No, I won't tell you a thing

                  Yesterday, I begged you
                  Before I hit the ground
                  All I leave behind me
                  Is only what I've found

                  If you can abide it
                  Let the hurdy gurdy play
                  Stranger ones have come by here
                  Before they flew away
                             *Solo*    (verse)

                  I will not condemn you
                  Nor yet would I deny
                  I would ask the same of you
                        F                      C     Am  A7  D
                  But failing will not die

                                                       D             A
                                Take up your china doll (take up your china doll...)
                                              A
                                It's only fractured
                                A                G/Gb      Em         D     A G/Gb Em D
                                Just a little nervous from the fall
                                A     G/Gb Em  D
                                La la la la la la la
                                                               A G/Gb Em D (x2)
