 Intro:
 
 F C F C 
     
 
 F                       
 How can you pine anymore
 C              
 it is beautiful
 F            C          
 and for all, unavoidable
 F               C    
 so here are his bones
 F                C    
 and his grinning skull
 F            C   
 so now he is home
 F                 C 
 to the bluebottles
 
 C Em Am F 
     
 
 Em               F  
 He who was your bull
 G                    F  
 and made the shadows run
 
       C         
 And I understand
 F                    C            
 in all things he was quite the man
         F              C    
 but now perched on his skull
    F              C    
 he wears cuckolds horns
 F               C   
 they're growing full
 F               C       
 pushing through the soil
 
 Em                       F    
 pools gathering round my knees
 G                           F         
 temptation leers at me from every door
 
 F                C    
 so these are his bones
 Em            F          C     
 why won't you leave them alone?
 
 Em                 F   
 worms crowding her feet
 G                               F    
 trying to pull me back to their holes
 Em                 F         
 tap-tapping in the room below
 G                      F             
 nothing more than dead piles of bones
 
 saying:
 C                            Em           
 'I'll eat this young whelp's heart I will'
 C                            Em           
 'I'll eat this young whelp's heart I will'
 C                            Em           
 'I'll eat this young whelp's heaaaaaaaart'

 Em                       F             
 with fists for spades we raid his grave
 Em                      Am             
 with big black boots we stomp the roots
 Em                       F             
 with fists for spades we raid his grave
 Em                      F             
 with big black boots we stomp the roof
