Rafferty – Mausoleum chords

  [Verse 1]
Bm                  F#Come inside my mausoleum
                                    BmLight a candle on the pathway to my casket room
                           F#Step on through rusty iron archways
                                          BmWhere a pigeon lays that died without his lover


[Chorus]
   Bm                EmSo strange and beautiful
        F#           BmHow you gaze upon my bones
  G                Em
A mistake, a tragedy
         F#                           BmSince we missed each other by a century


[Verse 2]
Bm                                      F#They took my clothes and sent to a museum
                                        BmAll I am is dust and a handlebar mustachio
                                            F#They took my guns, and horse and swords for history
                                     BmBut they kindly left a photograph of you and me


[Chorus]
     G               EmYour dress, so beautiful
         F#                    BmOn those cliffs that took your soul
         G                                      EmThough I reached for you as you drifted out to sea
         F#                           BmSince we missed each other by a century


[Bridge]
A           G                        BmYour fine lips, I would kiss you again
   A        Em                     BmSo don't be frightened by my skeleton
A           G                     BmI'd kill to touch your soft, bony hands
      F#             A   G             Em   F#But I can't because this is my lover's century


[Chorus]
   G                    EmSo strange, and beautiful
        F#           BmHow you gaze upon my bones
       G                   EmBefore you leave me out to sea
      F#                         BmI'll visit your bones next century
