A Trick Of The Tail

předehra: F#m – E6 – D6maj7 – E6

Bored of the life in the city of gold

He'd left and let nobody know

Gone were the towers he had known from a child

Alone with the dream of a life

He travelled the wide open road

Fm

The blinkered arcade

In search of another to share in his life

Nowhere

Everyone looked so strange to him

R: They've got no horns and they've got no tail

They don't even know of our existence

Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold

That lies in the deep distance, he cried

And wept as they led him away to a cage

"Beast that can talk", read the sign

The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame

And questioned his story again

But soon they grew bored of their prey

Beast that can talk ?

More like a freak or publicity stunt

Oh, no

R: They've got no horns and they've got no tail...

Eb Db

And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out

He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out

There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination

Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold

Let me take you there and show you a living story

Let me show you others such as me

Why did I ever leave ?

R: They've got no horns and they've got no tail...

And wept

And so we set out with the beast and his horns

And his crazy description of home

After many days journey we came to a peak

Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out

We followed his gaze and we thought maybe we saw

A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all

But the beast was gone and a voice was heard

R: They've got no horns and they've got no tail...
