Mantle for the Core - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
I called a girlfriend once, cause I felt terribly lonesome. I invited her for dinner, and made the best I could. She said "I'll be there". She never came. I ate the entrecôte myself, sipped the wine and forgot about her both as a friend or whatever I was dreaming of. The beef tasted good though, and the chandeliers I lit gave some inspiration to these lines of confusion. I'm not proud of them. I stole "grapes upon the vine" from Cohen, and about the "mantle and the core" you are free to discuss; I leave it on the snow. I was missing something essential, that's all.G Gmaj7 Cadd9 I told her get a cab and come over G Am D7 can't be so hard to catch one right now G G/F# Cadd9 no need for crimson and clover G C D7 and shields will not matter anyhow G but the taxi never came Gmaj7 and the cars went all the same Bm Ddim7 they came quite near and shifted gear C Gdim7 D7 and just went down the lane G Gmaj7 Cadd9 ain't got no grapes upon the vine no more C D7 G ain't got no mantle for the core
