Doomsday Evening by Kettle Rebellion
Doomsday Evening
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
G G
Take me back to where the ale is golden
C G
And where the rum is black
G
Where the welcome's bright, where lamplights invite
C D
Through a doorway's thinning cracks
Bm A D Em
See the dancers swing by the windows
C G
Looking in from the falling snow
D
For I turned away to the break of day
G Em G Em C D
Singing, off to work I go
[Verse 2]
G
Well, there was no end to our unrest
C G
We couldn't leave that town too soon
G
'Til we found ourselves by the benches
C D
Our guardian, the moon
B A D Em
And then the skies grew all the blacker
C G
And rain came a'drumming down
D
And it fouled our nest and we got no rest
C B Am G Em G Em C D
Take me back to that fucking town
[Chorus]
Am D Em
Laughter, a song of the free
C G D G
Drink this toast proposed to thee
Am D Em
Laughter, a song of the free
C G D G
Drink this toast proposed to thee
[Verse 3]
G
Now we're standing by the clockworks
C G
A rope around our necks
G
Placing bets on what strange morning
C D
We shall greet after this rest
Bm A D
And it's late on doomsday evening
Em C G
And we slept all afternoon
D
Craving days of yore so feared before
C B Am G
Crying, "set, you sun and moon!"
G Em G Em C D
[Chorus]
C G D G
Drink this toast proposed to thee
C G D G
Drink this toast proposed to thee
C G D G
Drink this toast proposed to thee
C G D G
Drink this toast proposed to thee
C G G D C D
[Outro]
G Bm
Where were you when the gates were open?
C G
When the guard had sleepy eyes?
G Bm
When we first shattered our windows
C D
Running out into the night?
Em Bm
Did you rise to greet the morning?
C G
Did you lose all the bounds of time?
D D
Or were you selling off the present
C Bm G
For a morrow never nigh?
