MATTHEW RYAN : DULCE ET DECORUM EST
INTRO G
G G/F# Em
I'm riding on a train, well you know
C
Cute girl in an English hat
D
Why'd it have to rain like that?
G G/F# Em
And in pulling off her scarf I let go
C
It floated like a wounded bird
D
Her mouth the shape of Spanish words
G G/F# Em
Well, you know I think I can
C
Vanish with the evening rust
D
Join the ghost that haunted us
G G/F# Em
Well, you know I think I am
C
Heroic in a failing way
D
For some of us it goes that way
G G/F# Em
And in another place while I slept
C
Nothing gave and nothing changed
D
Every day was more the same
G G/F# Em
Once upon that hill we came to
C
We stretched and leaned and threw some chairs
D
The moonlight in your dark black hair
G G/F# Em
Well, you know I think I can
C
Vanish with the evening rust
D
Join the ghost that haunted us
G G/F# Em
Well, you know I think I am
C
Heroic in a failing way
D
For some of us it goes that way
C/G Em D
Dulce et decorum est, my dear
C/G Em C/G D
It's sweet it's right, there's nothing for you here here
G G/F# Em
When someone lets you down you free fall
C
To that bigger hand around your wrist
D
You'll swear you never wanted this
G G/F# Em
Well, you know I think I can
C
Vanish with the evening rust
D
Join the ghost that haunted us
G G/F# Em
Well, you know I think I am
C
Heroic in a failing way
D
For some of us it goes that way
C/G Em D
Dulce et decorum est, my dear
C/G Em C/G D
It's sweet it's right, there's nothing for you here here
G G/F# Em
Now I'm pouring something cold down my throat
C
And I'm thinking about you and me
D
Once we had a drink or two or three
G G/F# Em
But those cold and autumn stars refused
C
We were swimming in that frozen lake
D
Our eyes the sound that sirens make
G G/F# Em C D G G/F# Em C D
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo hoo we go Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
