A Sunday In Madrid chords by Robert Wyatt
Verse 1
C
G
Pa
C
D
G
arrives in the city
of the closed doors,
Greeted by miners from Asturias.
His limousine streaks past giant
shiny moneyboxes,
Huddled together for warmth.
C
He is deposited in his inner chamber.

Verse 2
G
Later, Pa meets the bear,
impersonates a tree
To confuse the hell's gates
dogs' sense of smell,
And rests for chess with no- one.
C
Then (amongst the closed
doors) he shrinks,
Is dwarfed by rabbits, expands again
To invade the destiny of fourteen
mysterious others,
Strangely clad,
G
captured by a camera,
Carefully arranged,
D
G
with a space for his image.
C
G
A plot hatched by fate.
Verse 3
C
Pa looks for diversion in the written word,
Meanwhile, the mundane world
seeks solace in illusion.
An imprisoned rainbow gives
shelter to the homeless.
A painted machine registers
G
the weight of mystery,
And for background interest
a kilometre of women
Queue to kiss a wooden foot, patiently.
The Queen had been.
C
But no information,
in the city of the closed doors,
On Christian Spain.
G
Elsewhere, bare buttocks wait their turn.
In vain. No guides available. All
busy in the Prado,
D
Followed by shuffling feet. Fas
G
cinated. Perhaps.
Verse 4
C
Outside again in the mundane world,
In the city of the closed doors,
Living men impersonate sleeping saints,
On sundry raised surfaces,
(like benches).
D
G
Art objects seat
beadless (beneath coats).
Performance artists simulate
poverty and beg.
A day's begging pays the entrance fee
To the Cinema of Terror. A
C
golden gas mask
Throw the torturers off the trail, amongst
The grazed walls of the city
of the closed doors.
Verse 5
G
Pa escapes,
D
G
Samples the delights of raw fish,
good wine,
Closes the door of his inner chamber,
Closes the door of his inner chamber,
Outro 1
and sleeps.
