# Intro

A                                        D
Just an ordinary day, I knew that autumn was on its way
        A                      D
I could see by the gilt of the clouds, the burnish on the bay
  A               D                          Bm
A ring of effusia settled on the city like a vision of the future
           D
Before the scales fell away
  Bm                           D
A vision of the future looking more than just okay
A              D
A good feeling
     A                   D
Yes, just a good feeling
                                     A         D
And it only happens now and then
           A                     D
Out of the mouth of a black dog
           A             D
Out of the terrors of 3 am
           A                   D
Out of the dark and whispering fen
      Bm                 D                        A
I was blind then I could see, now I'm blind again

A
So I hollered up to Jill
D                                                          A
"Come down from the mountain, your ears are 'a burning
        D                                                  A                                
My speech is a fountain, it's been another long year
D
But you know I'm not counting
Bm                                                     D
I dreamed you like you dreamed me
Bm                                                                 D
O the bomb dreamed the fuse and the drowner dreamed the sea"
A                                         D
What a strange feeling...
A                                         D
Yes, it's a strange feeling
                                                     A
And it only happens now and then
D                  A                                  D
Out of the mouth of a black dog
                 A                       D
Out of the terrors of 3 am
A                                                           D
Out of the dark and whispering fen
Bm                                      D
I was blind then I could see, now I'm blind again.


A                                  D                   A                               D
Most of the Aegean Sea rushes into my bedroom and glitters for me
    A                                        D                  Bm                       D
The hills of Gallipoli all throw up their bones for my industry

     A                                                  D
So I build from the charnel the ale house
  A                                                     D
I build from the tomb a palace of dreams
     A                                        D                             Bm                           D
That old barren rockface got silver seams for a miner of middling means
Bm                                                 D
Singing poems of dissolution and schemes
                   A
My penny whistles, lo!

(A)   D   A   D   A   D   Bm   D

             A                                                 D
Now I summon up Jack, sat up on the hill
A                                                             D
The wrong kind of music, the wrong kind of pill
A                            D                      Bm                              D
Impotent as a potato but still pleading "Give it up Mary
D
But not by degrees..."
  
  A                   D                    A                      D
A portrait of Jack, a study in sin, well I knew of myself before I knew of him
         A                       D
Now even I couldn't tell ya just who it is asking
Bm                    D
"Give it up Mary, but not by degrees
Bm                    D                                     E
Give it up Mary, your virtue, please..."

A                                     D
Into the mouth of a black dog - I go
A                                    D
Into the terrors of 3 am - I go
A                                     D
Into the dark and whispering fen - I go
Bm                            D
I was blind then blind again
A                                   D
Into the mouth of a black dog - I go
A                                   D
Into the terrors of 3 am - I go
A                                   D
Into the dark and whispering fen - I go
       Bm                      D
O what beast has my name on its snaggle tooth
    Bm                    D             E
And eternal slobber for my finishing youth?
                  A
My penny whistles low.
