Cast Of Thousands � Darren Hanlon
This is an awesome tune by a great aussie songwriter and storyteller. Check out a live
if you can get your hands on one it is always absolutely outstanding.
Intro: D D D D
Verse:
D Bm A
We broke up about a year ago
D
We split amicably of course
Bm A
But I heard about your accident
Em
When you fell off a horse
E A
Mm-mm-mm
D Bm A
I took flowers to the hospital
D
When in turn the intern said
Bm A
That he'd help me find the room which held
D
You and your broken leg
Bm A
Hidden by your friends and relatives
Em
Gathered round your bed
E A
Ah-ah-ah
Chorus:
G D A
You had a cast of thousands of signatures
G D A
And charts filled with your fluctuating temperatures
G D A
You handed me a pen and pointed just below the knee
G D Bm A
I'm glad there's still a part of you reserved for me
Verse:
D Bm A
Do you remember how we met like laughing children
D
Or just how clean it ended?
Bm A
In the darkened ward at night
D
When blinds are all descended
Bm
Now I get a pang of pleasure
D
Seeing your leg suspended
Bm A
Shame they can't cover us in plaster
Em
And in six weeks all is mended
E A
Ah-ah-ah
D Bm A
But I love the smell of hospitals more than just a bit
D Bm
When I was young I couldn't keep my nose out of the first-aid kit
D Bm A
But when the very thing that brings you here also makes you go
Em E A
The top floor elevator's just got one arrow
(Slow tempo right down)
D G
Why so many bloody looks?
D F#m A D
I'm in the kitchen with too many cooks
