Biography:
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.

Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm
She knew she'd had a close escape
Gm
When she heard his voice on tape
C
That the man who wrote those words
A7
Could never comfort her
Dm
And she thought
Gm7
Of all the things that would go wrong
C
If they'd carried on
A Dm
And what a fool she'd been to think that they belonged
Gm
When she heard those songs
Gm C
Those dolorous songs
Bbm A A Asus4 A+5
Those heart-scorned, prim, self-pitying, dolorous songs
[Verse 2]
Dm D5 Dm
She sat down at a window chair
Gm Gm7 Gm6
She brushed and ponytailed her hair
C5 C7 C
And thought about his changing moods
A
All that anger and such victimhood
Dm D5 Dm
And she imagined
Gm Gm7 Gm6
The hour he knew that love was gone
C5 C7 C
That bitter dawn
A Dm
When he reached for a pen and turned his bedlight on
[Verse 3]
Gm7
And wrote those songs
C
Those dolorous songs

Those heart-scorned, prim, self-pitying, dolorous songs
