Brompton Oratory
-----------------
by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
(The Boatman's Call album)

  F   Up those stoneFm steps I climb
  Gm Hail this joyfulG day's return
  F   Into it's great shadowedFm vault I go
  Gm Hail the PenteGmcostal Cmorn

  F   The reading is from LukeFm 24
  Gm Where Christ returnsG to his loved ones
  F   I look at the stoneFm apostles
  Gm Think that it'sGm alright forC some

  F   And I wish that I wasFm made of stone
  Gm So that I would notG have to see
  F   A beauty impossibleFm to define
  Gm A beauty impossibleGm to belCieve

  F   A beauty impossibleFm to endure
  Gm The blood imparted inG little sips
  F   The smell of you stillFm on my hands
  Gm As I bring the cup upGm to myC lips

  F   No God upFm in the sky
  Gm And no devilG beneath the seaaaaFa
     Could Do the job thatFm you did, baby
  Gm Of bringing meGm to myC knees

  F   Outside I sit onFm the stone steps
  Gm With nothingG much to do
  F   Forlorn andFm exhausted, baby
  Gm By the aGmbsence ofC you G       F
