The Bitter Suite Vi - Abandon

C#m

[Verse]
C#m
Strangers in the soil
             B   A   C#m
So hide your enmity
Are you living up to ghosts or
            B   A
Does virtue disagree?

[Instrumental]
A    A/G# A/G F#  C#m

[Verse]
C#m
Use your gifts for good
       B         A     C#m
Rescue them from greed
Find a proper voice
               B      A
As the thistle in the wreath

[Instrumental]
A        F#  C#m

[Chorus]
F#
Move them to Truth, far from ruin
C#m                           E
Barricade the myth I made the wolves at bay
            F#
I know that History fades
                     A
And sympathy dithers away

[Post-Chorus]
           G#m F# C#m                  G#m F# C#m
The city's son        living under my thumb

[Interlude]
C#m

[Verse]
You couldn't compromise
            B        A
So keep playing with fire

[Instrumental]
A    A/G# A/G F#  C#m

[Chorus]
F#
Move them to Truth, far from ruin
C#m                           E
Barricade the myth I made the wolves at bay
            F#
I know that History fades
                     A
And sympathy dithers away
