Raging In The Plague Age

D5
I used to hold the biggest balls
D5
Deep inside my castle walls
D5
Spend my nights with concubine-
D5
Wasted, unchaste, drunk on blood red wine
D5        G5      F5      C5  C#5
Being the king was pretty cool
D5        G5      F5      C5  C#5
I'd have to say that ruling ruled
D5        G5      F5      C5  C#5
And I'd be in throne still
D5        G5      F5      C5  C#5
Had I not one day fallen ill

D5        G5      F5      C5  C#5
I spit and I coughed, my vision went soft
D5     G5   F5      C5  C#5
And my chest got tight
D5                   G5         F5         C5        C#5
My court, they surrounded me, they gagged and bounded me
D5        G5              F5      C5  C#5
And threw me out into the night

D5

[Verse]
D5        G5      F5      C5  C#5
Out in the mud I sadly sighed
D5        G5      F5      C5  C#5
The waiting crowd laid and died
D5           G5      F5                 C5  C#5
There came a noise boisterous, from down in the cloisters
D5        G5      F5      C5  C#5
And I heard them call the cry;

[Bridge]
N.C
"Draw up the drawbridge, draw down the blinds!
Everyone inside is getting high tonight!
D5        G5      F5            C5  C#5
Waiting for the plague to move on
D5              G5           F5            C5  C#5
No one's getting sober till the liquor's all gone!"

[Verse]
D5
The bra in the candelabra
D5
The panties on the paintings
D5
The Monks have tapped their finest cask
D5
And the Nuns are into fainting. They sing

[Chorus]
G5   D5    F5      C5   Bb5   F5    D5
"I hold my breath, you hit my chest."
G5   D5    F5      C5   Bb5   F5    D5
"I hold my breath, you hit my chest."
G5   D5    F5      C5   Bb5   F5    D5
"I hold my breath, you hit my chest."

[Verse]
G5   D5      F5      C5
You stumble from the arms of the one
C5             E5     D5
What made you, didn't you?
G5   D5      F5      C5
Fumble to the palms of the one
C5             E5     D5
What pays you, didn't you?

[Outro]
G5 D5 F5 C5 E5 D5
G5 D5 F5 C5 E5 D5
G5 D5 F5 C5 E5 D5
G5 D5 F5 C5 E5 D5
