Gentlemen
From the album Unseen
[INTRO]
Em F#/D G Am C G
[CHORUS]
G D G C G
Gentlemen, I tell you now,
C G
I swear the truth
Em D/F# G Am C G D G D/F#
I saw the table rise, the teacup flew
[VERSE 1]
Bm G
From tempered glass I built the apparatus
Bm G
to alight in the presence of phantasmus
Am Em
Filaments within detect a change,
Am Em D
in aero-pressure, barometric waves
[CHORUS]
G D G
Gentlemen, in the name of science!
C G
Gentlemen, I now can prove:
Em D/F# G Am C G D G D/F#
the unseen world is close, it pushes through
[INTERLUDE]
Bm G Bm G Am Em Am Em D
[CHORUS]
G D G
Gentlemen, the lights blew out!
C G
Gentlemen, the curtains moved!
Em D/F# G Am C G D G D/F#
A world of light resides just past our view
[VERSE 2]
Bm G
Within the crooks of vacuum tubes
Bm G
a caged spirit lit aglow the room
Am Em
Burst forth from the shattered tube
Am Em D
It thinned my blood, burnt me, ravaged cruel
[CHORUS]
G D G
Gentlemen, the lights do flicker!
C G
Gentlemen, the air it cools!
Em D/F# G Am C G D G
Who's with me here, listening in this room?
[OUTRO]
N.C.
Gentlemen, the world grows dark!
N.C.
Gentlemen, the curtains moved!
N.C.
Who's with me here, whispering in this room?
