Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu "The Trapeze Swinger" dari Iron & Wine.
[Verse 1]
C G
Please, remember me
F
Happily
C G
By the rosebush laughing
C G
With bruises on my chin
F
The time when
C G
We counted every black car passing
Am G
Your house beneath the hill
F
And up until
C G
Someone caught us in the kitchen
Am G
With maps, a mountain range
F
A piggy bank
C G
A vision too removed to mention
And
[Verse 2]
C G
Please, remember me
F
Fondly
C G
I heard from someone you're still pretty
C G
And then they went on to say
F
That the pearly gates
C G
Had such eloquent graffiti
Am G
Like "We'll meet again"
F
And "Fuck the man"
C G
And "Tell my mother not to worry"
Am G
And angels with their great
F
Handshakes
C G
Were always done in such a hurry
And
[Verse 3]
C G
Please, remember me
F
That Halloween
C G
Making fools of all the neighbors
C G
Our faces painted white
F
By midnight
C G
We'd forgotten one another
Am G
And when the morning came
F
I was ashamed
C G
Only now it seems so silly
Am G
That season left the world
F
And then returned
C G
And now you're lit up by the city
And
[Verse 4]
C G
Please, remember me
F
Mistakenly
C G
In the window of the tallest tower
C G
Calling passers-by
F
We're much too high
C G
To see the empty road at happy hour
Am G
Gleam and resonate
F
Just like the gates
C G
Around the holy kingdom
Am G
With words like "Lost and found"
F
And "Don't look down"
C G
And "Someone save Temptation"
And
[Verse 5]
C G
Please, remember me
F
As in the dream
C G
We had as rug-burn babies
C G
Among the fallen trees
F
We're fast asleep
C G
Beside the lions and the ladies
Am G
That called you what you like
F
And even might
C G
Give a gift for your behavior
Am G
A fleeting chance to see
F
A trapeze
C G
Swinger high as any savior
And
[Verse 6]
C G
Please, remember me
F
My misery
C G
And how it lost me all I wanted
C G
Those dogs that love the rain
F
And chasing trains
C G
The colored birds above their running
Am G
In circles around the well
F
And where it spells
C G
On the wall behind St. Peter
Am G
So bright on cinder gray
F
In spray paint
C G
"Who the hell can see forever?"
And
[Verse 7]
C G
Please, remember me
F
Seldomly
C G
In the car behind the carnival
C G
My hand between your knees
F
You turned from me
C G
And said, "The trapeze act was wonderful
Am G
But never meant to last"
F
The clowns that passed
C G
Saw me just come up with anger
Am G
When it filled with circus dogs
F
The parking lot
C G
Had an element of danger
And
[Verse 8]
C G
Please, remember me
F
Finally
C G
And all my uphill clawing
C G
My dear, but if I make
F
The pearly gates
C G
I'll do my best to make a drawing
Am G
Of God and Lucifer
F
A boy and girl
C G
An angel kissing on a sinner
Am G
A monkey and a man
F
A marching band
C G
All around the frightened trapeze swinger
[Outro]
C G
Na, na-na
F
Na-na
C G
Na-na, na-na
C G
Na-na-na, na-na
F
Na-na
C G
Na-na-na, na-na
C
Na-na-na
