G D Em G Cm

[Verse 1]
G       Em  Bm  D
Dawn in Albany
  Bm          D      C#m  C
Statesmen are still asleep
          D
The first noise heard
  G     D   Em G  Cm
Through the dew: "cuckoo!"

G           Em   Bm   D
A rattle follows
Bm               D      C#m  C
The coroner's office glows
        D    G      D  Em G  Cm
This is my portrait of you, Cuckoo

[Chorus]
B7         Em    G     C#m  C
Cuckoo is your given name
B7                 Em  G      C#m C Cm
Christened in the solitude of Fame

[Verse 2]
G     Em        Bm  D
Ah! Friends as such!
 Bm            D C#m   C
Whose love is without touch
      D      G     D    Em G  Cm
All four horsemen are you: Cuckoo

[Instrumental]

G D Em G Cm

[Chorus]
B7             Em   G       C#m C
Like Brughel's Miser in the frame
 B7          Em   G     C#m C Cm
Quite literally, you're insane

[Verse 3]
G  Em  Bm D
A cop-out?
Bm             D      C#m C
So flippantly talked about
     D         G     D    Em  G
Stand up, here comes your cue...
    Cm
"cuckoo!"
