Bm                  F#
Come inside my mausoleum
                                    Bm
Light a candle on the pathway to my casket room
                           F#
Step on through rusty iron archways
                                          Bm
Where a pigeon lays that died without his lover


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


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


[Chorus]
     G               Em
Your dress, so beautiful
         F#                    Bm
On those cliffs that took your soul
         G                                      Em
Though I reached for you as you drifted out to sea
         F#                           Bm
Since we missed each other by a century


[Bridge]
A           G                        Bm
Your fine lips, I would kiss you again
   A        Em                     Bm
So don't be frightened by my skeleton
A           G                     Bm
I'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                    Em
So strange, and beautiful
        F#           Bm
How you gaze upon my bones
       G                   Em
Before you leave me out to sea
      F#                         Bm
I'll visit your bones next century
