Song: The Partisan But He's Got To Know
Tabbed by: Me with help from semz (http://wolfparade.nonstuff.com/forum/)
[verse]
C
Oh the partisan said,
F
"there are photos in your head
G G
I want to know what they are"
C
And he was wise in many matters
F
of the bruised and the battered
G G
And the cold in your car
C
He said that "I want berries
F
the Apollo-weary citizen
G G
has some behind his bar."
[pre-chorus]
C
Who blows the sky?
F
Who blows the sea?
G
Who puts the Myriad in
G
the grass in front of me?
F
In the lofts they would pull
G
and they would tear upon their seleves
F
and the tinkling is a symphony of
G
"Father won't you please?"
F
And the rent becomes a myth
G
because the photograph is diseased
F
For the matriarch has slipped
G
and hurt her blessed knee:
[chorus]
Cm G (repeat)
"Oh when's she going to slow down?
Will Wendy ever slow down?"
[verse]
C
Oh the partisan said
F
there are photos in your head
G G
I want to see what they are;
C
And he was young but still terrific
F
through the burning barn's horrific
G G
It was done all the same
C
And with his bat and his bullies
F
he's going to stalk the hills of mercy
G
and lay waste to their name
G
it's the violator's aim
[pre-chorus]
C
Who blows the sky?
F
Who blows the sea?
G
Who puts the Myriad in
G
the grass in front of me?
F
In the lofts they would pull
G
and they would tear upon their seleves
F
and the tinkling is a symphony of
G
"Father won't you please?"
F
And the rent becomes a myth
G
because the photograph is diseased
F
For the matriarch has slipped
G
and hurt her blessed knee:
[chorus]
Cm G (repeat)
"Oh when's she going to slow down?
Will Wendy ever slow down?"
[part 2]
Eb Cm Cm G G
Eb Cm
And I called the love from everyone
Cm G
to testify that I am as stupid as a lord
G
on a skewered palace sword
Eb Cm
"So dumb, I called your name in verse
Cm
to the masked polled opponents of
G
partisans and sentiments
G
and cake-holed second verse and
Eb
I am stupid and indifferent
Cm
to the muscles of the minions
Cm
who had stupidly opinioned
G
that the mayor was the emblem
G
of the passion-played name
Eb
but the fall of the palace
Cm
was from cold and not malice
Cm G
it was winter in the Tallahassee port
G
with the broken soldiers out to lay their claim:
wild blood, oh do you still run around with wild blood?
