Kunci Gitar Patrick Wolf - Augustine

( this isn’t in the same key as the original , but it sounds accurate )

Em G C

Em G C
as the bell tower blocks the summer light
Em G C
all the seeds in our garden fight
Em D C B
to break and blossom , all to be adored
C
and look , your skirt is torn
D
and there’s blood on our sheets
Em G C
as comes the long arm of the law
Em G C
fist tight , banging on the door
Em D C B C D
and knocking me down on its way in

as i pass out into a dream
of whooping cranes and wooden beams
great white wings beating
in an attic , in a house , in the dead of night
singing

C D Em D C Em D C
oh , my augustine , augustine
C D Em D C Em D C
oh , is this forever , ever?
C D
oh , oh
Em D C Em D C
sweet augustine , augustine
C D
what does this mean for us?

does it mean that i can never change my ways?
and that’s why , love , you shouldn’t stay
still you will and love me
like a mother or a maid bringing you down , down
down on your brazen knees
watering the worms and the weeds
thinking , why does love leave me so damn cold?
now i’m getting old
and is this what it should be?
well , is it?

oh , my augustine , augustine .
oh , is this forever , ever?
oh , oh
sweet augustine , augustine
C D G C
or do we kill this one tonight?
G C

Em G C
and now come the tears , heavy and hot
Em G C
as it comes clear , this is all we got
Em D C
as i hold you to my bed
B C
like a cancer , or a curse
D
now be my loving nurse
Em D C Em
as we fall back into the impossible dream
