The Idol On The Bar chords by Bonnie "Prince"" Billy"
Verse 1
A
E
Surely there must be an idol here
Am
E
Up behind the bar, some statuette
Some femish pint
Am
E
Forced into a painful pirouette
F
G
Whose honor we should guard
A
Am
F
From the unchecked
G
Am
throw -dung sailing
E
Am
G
Let the quick wit, thick wit,
E
free his tongue
G
Am
Leave the lower baser minds flailing
E
She would not stay straight
A
for these wise folk
E
Am
Or a barstool she'll kindly lay
E
While for dolts she'll stick petrified
A
E
Am
Between the register an d stack of trays
E
G
E
A nightingale yet to age into fluidity
A
G
An approachable voice
Am
of youthful cuteness
E
Which will finally send the piano's wires
Am
G
E
To its hollowed home of muteness
Am
At last, the repetition
E
of each hometown tune
A
Am
Will be shed to the maiming lion memory
E
Am
E
To in turn their intended anthemnity
Or reduce folks to lonely,
Am
seductive glamoury
E
F
E
G
Oh, I recall the dance with Lily
E
to that very tune
F
E
G
When she did say I was
Am
without manly peer
E
Am
E
G
An id ol on the bar,
E
Am
E
she was not un like you
Am
G
Am
E
Your queenly stance recalls her spirit here
A
E
Am
But this id ol has no mind
E
G
F
for the drunk's musings
Am
F
G
Am
Yet not without joy our princess reigns
E
Am
G
F
It is her pearlies what keeps her throne
Am
F
G
And our gesticulation
E
G
E
A
Hovering twixt joy and pain
Am
E
A moment from her lips
they whisper issues from
A
E
Her eyes winkle,
Am
twink, and say I love you, dear
E
A
E
Pull yourself a bodily call, some strength in
A
Am
A shepherd or the bar to
E
Am
kill the wolves in here
C
E
Am
E
I can 't stay here
I can't stay here
A
E
I can't stay here
I can't stay here
