Augustine ver. 2

READ THIS: This song is difficult to play, and I've tried my best to point out the
little things such as when sections change, but you will have to listen to the song to know
where and when to switch chords, and how to play the song regarding force and such, asall those things were too hard for me to write out in a way that you would understand

This is made completely by ear, and is played on the piano but works just as well on any
other instrument e g guitar I found that none of the other interpretations on this
site did the original justice, so here's to this beautiful, beautiful song

If you would like me to take out any other song Patrick has made, I would be glad to
Message me, and I'll see what I can do!

Song: Augustine

[Intro]
[Cm][Fm][Db]
[Cm][Fm][Db]
[Fm][Eb][Db]
[Cm][Fm][Db]

[Verse]
[Cm]As the bell [Fm]tower blocks [Db]the summer light
[Cm]All the [Fm]seeds in our [Db]garden fight
[Fm]To break and [Eb]blossom, all [Db] to be adored
[Cm]And look,[Fm] your [Db]skirt is torn
[Db]And there's blood on our sheets

[Cm]As comes [Fm]the long arm [Db] of the law
[Cm]Fist tight [Fm], banging [Db]on the door
[Fm]And [Eb]knocking [Dbm]e down
Slower, and stroke the last chord and then mute it just before entering the second half
of the verse
[Cm]On [Fm]its [Db]way in

[Cm]As I pass [Fm] out [Db]into a dream
[Cm]Of whooping [Fm]cranes and [Db]wooden beams
[Fm]Great [Eb]white wings [Db] beating
Slower
[Cm]In an attic, in [Fm] a house, in [Db]the dead of night
Singing

[Chorus]
[Db]Oh,[Eb] my
[Fm][Cm][Db]Augustine,[Fm] [Cm][Db]Augustine
[Db]Oh, is [Eb] this
[Fm][Cm]Forev [D] ber [Fm], [C] [Db]mever?
[Db]Oh, oh [Eb]my sweet
[Fm][Cm][Db]Augustine,[Fm] [Cm][Db]Augustine
[Db]What does [Eb]this mean
This part goes into the verse
[Cm][Fm][Db]for [Cm][Fm]us [Db]?

[Verse]
[Cm]Does it mean [Fm]that I can never [Db]change my ways?
[Cm]And that's [Fm]why, love, you [Db]shouldn't stay
[Fm]Still you [Eb] will [Db]and love me
[Cm]Like a [Fm]mother or a maid [Db]bringing you
[Cm]down, down, [Fm]down on your [Db]brazen knees
[Cm]Watering [Fm]the worms [Db]and the weeds
[Fm]Thinking, [Eb]why does [Db]love leave me
[Cm]So damn [Fm]cold? Now I'm [Db]getting old
[Db]And is this what it should be?
Well, is it?

[Chorus]
[Db]Oh,[Eb] my
[Fm][Cm][Db]Augustine,[Fm] [Cm][Db]Augustine
[Db]Oh, is [Eb] this
[Fm][Cm]Forev [D] ber [Fm], [C] [Db]mever?
[Db]Oh, oh [Eb]my sweet
[Fm][Cm][Db]Augustine,[Fm] [Cm][Db]AugustineThis part goes into the bridge
[Db]Or do we kill [Eb]this one tonight?

[Bridge]
[Ab][Eb/G][Ab][Eb/G]
[Db]

[Verse]
[Cm]And now come [Fm] the tears, h[D] beavy and hot
[Cm]As it comes [Fm]clear, this [Db]is all we got
[Fm]As I hold [Eb]you to my [Db]bed like a
[Cm]Cancer, or [Fm] a curse,[Db] Know be my
[Db]Loving nurse, as we fall back
[Db][Eb][Fm]Into the impossible dream
