The Shade of Poison Trees
I suggest bar chords
And thanks to the tab before this one. it gave me a base to work off of.
Intro:
[F#] [B]
Why do you sp[F#]eak with that accent [G#m]now?
Everyone kn[E]ows you're not from the st[B]reets.
You went to p[F#]rep school in Cambridge,[G#m]
With daughters and s[E]ons of the privileged el[B]ite.
Their fortunes from shipping and industr[G#m]y,
Their futures in ya[E]cht clubs and tails.[B]
So why do you sp[F#]eak with that accent n[G#m]ow?
Everyone kn[E]ows you're moonlighting he[G#m]re.
To avail yourself of your he[E]ritage,
For a season or two in the s[B]un.
Draw well from the funds in the t[F#]rust,
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate s[G#m]ons,
For us it's a matter of ch[E]arging the gates
For you it's a matter of b[B]lood and conn[F#]ections
Of bl[B]ood and conn[F#]ections. [B]
So who do you f[F#]ool with that costume no[G#m]w?
Everyone kn[E]ows you're not who you s[B]eem
You've got a ha[F#]rd way about you[G#m]
For someone whose p[E]assage is already p[G#m]aid
By the sins and the schemes of your fa[E]ther
And the infinite reach of his a[B]rm
Draw well from the funds in the t[F#]rust,
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate s[G#m]ons,
For us it's a matter of cha[E]rging the gates
For you it's a matter of bl[B]ood
Drink well from your bottomless c[F#]up
And bask in your good fo[G#m]rtune
For us it's a matter of ch[E]arging the gates
For you it's a matter of b[F#]lood and conne[G#m]ctions
So where will you be when you tire of the f[B]un
The escape, the charade, and your time in the s[E]un
I know everyone does their own reinve[B]ntion
But yours has a ta[F#]ste that's hard to sw[G#m]allow
And what will you tell of your tenure with [B]us?
Will you build yourself up, like the size of your h[E]unt?
If they're anything like what you've been telling [B]us,
Those stories will m[F#]ake true believers
Of the chumps and the foo[B]ls.
So why do you sp[F#]eak with that accent [G#m]now?
Everyone kn[E]ows you're not from the str[B]eets.
