Dm
[Chorus]
Dm
When I first heard the news
C Dm
I was thinkin' of you
Dm
And the words that were spoken
C Dm
Were bent and untrue
[Verse 1]
Dm C Dm
It was a seemingly tragic affair at the end
C Dm
And just when we all were about to pretend
C Dm
I saw through his eyes as the sentence he spoke
C Dm
He stood up, his tongue was beginning to poke
C Dm
All the fun from your head to make you feel dead
C Dm
All the fun from your head to make you feel dead
[Chorus]
Dm
But when I first heard the news
C Dm
I was thinkin' of you
Dm
And the words that were spoken
C Dm
Were bent and untrue
[Verse 2]
Dm C Dm
And it came to them slowly, I seem to recall
C Dm
Like the hate came to Hitler and the hope into Saul
C Dm
They were all walking sidewards as they came through the door
C Dm
As trivial, as a tycoon in a travesty of law
C Dm
Like natural they come, thine kingdom thine come
C Dm
Like natural they come, thine kingdom thine come
[Chorus]
Dm
So when I first heard the news
C Dm
I was thinkin' of you
Dm
And the words that were spoken
C Dm
Were bent and untrue
[Verse 3]
Dm C Dm
As the lepers were leaving in grey limousines
C Dm
They were all dealing out their black barrister dreams
C Dm
But they never once noticed what hung on his heel
C Dm
Was a sign painted backwards and it said the word 'real'
C Dm
But never you fear, there wasn't a tear
C Dm
No never you fear, there wasn't a tear
