The Shining Hour
guitar chords lyrics
The Shining Hour
Am C Bm Dm
Are we still on the phone=20
Am C Bm Dm
With lady Anna Clarke and her trumpet solo?
Am C Bm Dm
Whose ghost sings for pay
Am C Bm Dm
In the blue billiard room of the Monterey
Am C Bm Dm
For room and for board
Am C Bm Dm
And the back door key is a 19th century civil war sword
Am C Bm Dm
Once owned by John Booth
Am C Bm Dm =20
Am
And he misplaced his script when he caught his leather boot
G F Dm Am
This could be the shining hour
G F Dm Am
Based on all this mad belief
G F Dm Am
In money oil and angel powder
G F Dm=09
In the new age magazine=20
There=92s a hole in the wall
Behind the photograph of Al Capone
He=92s sittin=92 down at city hall
The police they peek through here
And they watch you get dressed in the two-way mirror
But it=92s all in good spirits
And if you close eyes you can=92t help, help but to hear =91em move
This could be the shining hour
Based on all this mad belief
In the money oil and angel powder
In the new age magazine
I propose a toast
To the memory of the horse who carried King Tut and his gold
Into the sun
He collapsed last summer from a heat stroke somewhere in the east=20
village, oh=20
And it kills me to think
That I=92m no longer living
Just looking for excuses to dink
So lift up your glass
And your Ouija board =91cause I=92m fading, fading, fading fast
