Rana The Fortunate

[Verse 1: Joshua Burnside] Am Em F C Thrown in to a golden cage Am Em F C Renamed the breeder of grace but Am Em F C All the finest silk of the land Am Em F C Couldn't tie up my arms, tie up my hands [Verse 2: Laura Quirke] Am Em F C As for all the sweet perfume Am Em F C And for all the flesh consumed Am Em F C Nothing could change yes that I knew Am Em F C And by the grace of he went I Am Em F C Oh oh [Verse 3: Joshua Burnside] Am Em F C I have known the pleasures of man Am Em F C The honey spilled over my hands Am Em F C And now an angry god commands Am Em F C Blood on the altar [Verse 4: Laura Quirke] Am Em F C As the drunken soldiers slept Am Em F C Through the palace gardens I crept Am Em F C On a throne of feathers I have slept Am Em F C But now I am awake [Bridge Joshua Burnside, Joshua Burnside & Laura Quirke] D F And all along D C The dunes of the Dardanelles A holy rifle on my shoulder And C G F 50 pounds sterling C G F I kept in my pocket C G F I know very soon will Am Em F C Be of no use to me Am Em F C Be of no use to me [Chorus Joshua Burnside & Laura Quirke] Am Em Rolled through the night F C On a truck to the coast Am Em F C The arrows of Ulgen above us Am Em F C I’ll sway my hips to the beat of the bombs Am Em F C And salute the fallen Am Em D C Oh the joy to hear it Am Em F C So lonesome you wouldn't believe it Am Em F C As all the world is born again Am Em F C Naked and wailing [Outro vocalizing]
