Bm
The banners wave upon the promenade

Bm
The banners wave upon the promenade

G                  F#                Bm
Colors fly and the funeral march is played

Bm
There is, is there a foul taste in the air

Bm
There is, is there a foul taste in the air

      A              G              Bm
Your legend walks before you everywhere

      G              F#             Bm
Your legend walks before you everywhere


Chorus:

     D                A7        Em       Bm  
And all you want from me is someone to abuse

          Em               Bm        G             Bm
Whether rags are on your back or gleams on your jewels

    D               Em                     Bm
So roll up your sleeves one of us must be wrong

     G               F#              Bm
And hold me close until the feelings gone

Bm
Woah

G               F#                Bm 
Hold me close until the feeling's gone


Verse 2:

Bm
Your daddy daddy was a buccanner

Bm
Your daddy daddy was a buccanner

     G                     F#            Bm
To speak his name is to watch him disappear

Bm
And every time you touched me in my field

Bm
And every time you touched me in my field

    G            F#              Bm
The colors fade and the flowers wilt


Chorus:

    D                  A7       Em       Bm
Cuz all you want from me is someone to abuse

           Em            Bm      G                Bm
Whether callus on your back or gold is on your tooth

   D                A7           Em       Bm
So roll up your sleeves one of us must be wrong

     G               F#                Bm
And hold me close until the feeling's gone

Bm
Woah!

G                F#                 Bm
Hold me close until the feeling's gone


Bridge/post-chorus:

      A7/G             D               Em
And I could never understand all the boys

                 Bm                Em              Bm
Who wear your brand and all the hearts at your command

   G             A        
I guess I never will

     A7                       D
So lay me down and get your fill

          Em                Bm
Hope my memory haunts you still

           Em              Bm
It never could it always will

G                  F#
Just as you had planned
