Mantle for the Core - chords, tab and comments
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 shew up. I ate the entrecĂ´te 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 was missing something essential, that is.
G G/F# Em
I told her get a cab and come over
C D7sus4 D7
shouldn't be that hard to get one right now
G G/F# Em
no need for crimson and clover
C D7sus4 D7
and shields do not matter anyhow
G
but the taxi never came
G/F#
and the cars went all the same
G Bm
they came quite near and shifted gear
C D7
and just went down the lane
G G/F# Em
ain't got no grapes upon the vine no more
C D7 G
ain't got no mantle for the core
