Saint Julian by Julian Cope

     
                          Saint Julian 


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo

The main chord pattern for the song is an E for one bar then D and A for half 
a bar each.
I think it sounds good played with open chords
All other parts are easier to play with barre chords.

I met God in a car in a dream in Ankerside
          A     E
And i was very  unkind.

And gave us a mind."

D    A        E
With tales to tell
                  D           A       E
I've been looking around this world I created

It's going so well"

I stared into your face, the waves deep and strong
A                                    E
Your fall from grace -- a god so far gone
E                        G#
Remind me not to pray to you
G#      C#m      B    A            G#
Then my flailing arms smacked your face

Why should I kill you?

I thought of all the bodies, the religious wars

And all of the millions dying for a nobody

Sitting in an 8-foot by 8-foot cell, I cried
               D         A
"You know this treatment isn't human"
E        D            A             E
Up to my waist in the slime and the sweat of days
            D        A
I hope that I am not forgotten
 
[Chorus]
