The Waterboys is a British celtic band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members' solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members (such as Ian McNabb, leader of The Icicle Works; Trevor Hutchinson, a founding member of Lúnasa; etc) have had independently.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

NOVEMBER TALE THE WATERBOYS
INTRO: BF#mADbmF#AEAEAEF#mE
VERSE: AE Her communique arrived with its expression of her feeling AE I swear I had no idea she'd been holding in conceiling F#mDbm Such a storm of words unsaid F#mDbm Though absurd as it appears B Had been blowing in her head F#m For twenty-seven years AE I knew I had to face her so I grabbed my Davey Crocket A Threw a scarf around my neck E And twenty dollars in my pocket F#mDbm I found her in the same old place F#mDbm Pamphlet in her fist B When I saw her windblown face F#m She said well, look at who it is
CHORUS: BF#F#m Meet me on the mad parade ADbmEB When the midnight bells are chiming BF#F#mDbmBDbDbm We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown BF#m Pile up all the blunders that we've made ADbm In a tower too tall for climbing F#AEAEAEBAE And we'll burn the damn thing down
VERSE: AE In the great November light she was older still alluring AE Her hair grey and longer than it ever had been during F#mDbm The days we loved an slept F#mDbm In her bed of painted wood B In the little place she kept F#m In a crumbling neighbourhood A We walked along a while E Like we were old companions A But I could feel the gap between us E Yawning like a canian F#mDbm She with her church and code F#mDbm Her extravagant beliefs B Me a creature of the road F#m A child of dust and grief
CHORUS: BF#F#m Meet me on the mad parade ADbmEB When the midnight bells are chiming BF#F#mDbmBDbDbm We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown BF#m Pile up all the blunders that we've made ADbm In a tower too tall for climbing F#AEAEAEBF#mE And we'll burn the damn thing down
VERSE: AE She smoked a cigarette and blew smoke rings at the ceiling A Said if you're problem is long standing man E Then why don't you try kneeling F#mDbmF#mDbm Now your face I see you're still a sinner in the mist B Setting up your little will F#m Is king in place of His A I said I've heard about sin E Down the long wheels of ages A I cracked books of lies E With a thousand twisted pages F#mDbm Then I looked her in the eye F#mDbm And asked her clear and plain B If your religion was a lie F#m Then what would remain
VERSE: A She said I've got my beating heart E And I've two loving hands to heal with A And there's nothing in my day that E I ain't got the strength to deal with F#mDbm I said darling I confess F#mDbm The same things applies to fate B And as for all the rest F#m We agreed to disagree
CHORUS/OUTRO: BF#F#m Meet me on the mad parade ADbmEB When the midnight bells are chiming BF#F#mDbmBDbDbm We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown BF#m Pile up all the blunders that we've made ADbm In a tower too tall for climbing F#AEAE And we'll burn the damn thing down F#AEAEAEAAE Yes we'll burn the damn thing down
