G A dreaded sunny day C So I meet you at the cemetery gates D Em D C D Keats and Yeats are on your side G A dreaded sunny day C So I meet you at the cemetery gates D Em D C D C Keats and Yeats are on your side D G While Wilde is on mine G C So we go inside and we gravely read the stones D All those people all those lives Em D C D Where are they now? G With loves, with hates C And passions just like mine They were born D And then they lived Em D C D C And then they died Which seems so unfair D G And I want to cry Bm You say: "ere thrice the sun hath door G Salutation to the dawn" Bm G And you claim these words as your own C D But I'm well read, have heard them said Em F A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more) If you must write prose and poems the words you use should be your own Don't plagiarise or take "on loan" 'Cause there's always someone, somewhere with a big nose, who knows And who trips you up and laughs when you fall Who'll trip you up and laugh when you fall You say: "'Ere long done do does did" Words which could only be your own And then produce the text from whence was ripped Some dizzy whore, 1804 Chorus: A dreaded sunny day, so let's go where we're happy And I meet you at the cemetry gates Oh, Keats and Yeats are on your side A dreaded sunny day, so let's go where we're wanted And I meet you at the cemetry gates Keats and Yeats are on your side, but you lose 'Cause whale blubber Wilde is on mine Sugar! | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC  D  Em  F  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
