C               G    F5              C            G
please remember me, happily  by the rosebush laughing
         C          G             F5                 C
with bruises on my chin, the time when, we counted every black car
G
passing
       Am               G           F5              C                 G
your house beneath the hill, and up until, someone caught us in the kitchen
      Am                G             F5                  C
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision too removed to
     G
mention
         C           G      F5                   C
But please remember me, fondly, I heard from someone you’re still
   G
pretty
         C                G                    F5
And then, they went on to say That the pearly gates, has some
    C       G
eloquent graffiti
      Am             G                F5               C
Like, we’ll, meet again, and fuck the man And tell my mother not to
G
worry
   Am           G         F5                 C                  G
And angels with a great, handshake And all is done in such a hurry
      C              G        F5             C
And please remember me, at Halloween, Making fools of all the
G
neighbors
           C      G             F5         C             G
Are faces painted white, by midnight, We forgotten one another
        Am            G            F5                 C         G
And when The morning came, I was ashamed Only now it seems so silly,

           Am          G             F5                   C              G
That season Left the world and then returned And now your lit up by the City
        C            G         F5              C               G
So, Please, remember me, Mistakenly In the window of the tallest
        C                  G               F5                      C
tower  call, Then pass us by, But much too high, To see the empty road at
       G
Happy hour
   Am         G                       F5              C        G
Leave, and resonate, Just like the gates, Around the holy kingdom
       Am                    G                    F5
With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down' And
  C                  G
'Someone Save Temptation'
       C              G             F5              C
And Please, remember me As in the dream, We had as rug-burned
G
babies
C                   G              F5              C              G
Among  the fallen trees And fast asleep Aside the lions and the ladies
         Am                  G             F5              C
That called, you what you like, And even might, Give a gift for your
    G
behavior
           Am            G            F5           C       G
A fleeting chance to see, A trapeze Swing as high as any savior

       C              G      F5                    C             G
But Please, remember me, My misery, And how it lost me all I wanted
         C                   G               F5
Those dogs, that love the rain, And chasing trains
      C                          G
The colored birds above there running
        Am           G                  F5
In circles round the well, And where it spells
      C                  G         Am
On the wall behind St. Peter's So bright with
             G               F5               C             G
With cinder gray, And spray paint 'Who the hell can see forever?'
       C             G     F5               C              G
And Please, remember me, Seldomly, In the car behind the carnival
     C                 G                  F5
My hand between your  knees, You turn from me
                C                 G
And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful
        Am          G                      F5
But never meant to last', The clown that passed,
         C               G
Saw me just come up with anger
         Am                  G                 F5             C       G
When it filled, with circus dogs, The parking lot, Had an element of danger
      C             G      F5             C            G
So Please, remember me, Finally, And all my uphill clawing
      C           G               F5
My dear But if I make The pearly Gates
        C        G               Am         G
 Do my best to make a drawing Of God, and Lucifer
           F5             C            G
A boy and girl An angel kissing on a sinner,
       Am      G                F5                     C       G
A monkey and a man A marching band All around the frightened trapeze swingers
 C          G       F5       C      G      C
Na-na Na-na-na Na-na Na-na...

 C   G   F5  C   G   C
Am  G   F5   C   G   C     End,
