Gospel Of Dismay

Gm
Gm                                                   D
    Let's hope this time we can get this band back together again!

Gm                         F         Eb
  You join the underground cabaret today
Eb                D
(Well, hey there, tell me your name)
           Gm
You try to run and tell the word
           F                      Eb
But you're stranded in a darkened cave
Eb             D
(Oh, Henry, we hate you the same)
          Eb
So listen up my friend
                  F
There's more than meets the eye
          Eb
You power up the studio
    F
And bring them to life
             Gm
Now play the beat that trickles through the halls
   Eb
Or else your life is nevermore
      D
Don't worry chum
N.C.
It's not the music that dies
           Gm
Now listen up!

Gm         F
Our life support machine
               Eb                 D
Was brought to life by remarkable hands
Gm                  F
   Forget about the hell we've seen
             Eb                 D
The time has come to revive our band
            Eb
So bang the drums to a rhythm
     D
Captivating the beat
              Eb
And press the keys on the piano
        D
For the ritual please
             Gm
The song's alive with the night
          Eb
With your help we'll revive
            D
The devil's advocate
N.C.
Is staring right through your lies
Gm               F               Bb
   You're just returning our old strings tonight
           D
I hope you turn on the light now!

Gm
   Can I get an amen in here? (Amen!)
                     Eb
You see the magic of art
         F                     Gm
It would tear you apart if you knew!
Gm
Can I get an amen in here? (Amen!)
                              Eb
This magic was fueled by your heart
        F                         Eb
But the dreams in his eyes were untrue
       D                    Gm
He had bigger plans for the band
     F            Bb           Eb       D
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
             N.C.                 Gm
You're gonna break us out of this hell!
Gm D

Gm                            F
   We've been stars since the rhythm days
        Eb                         D
But our instruments have all grown tired
Gm                         F
   And in the end our only dream was to dance
              Eb                      D
They took the dance away and we got retired
             Eb
But that was long ago
          F
We have a new change of face
             Eb
We turned it up a couple notches
       F
With a brand new pace
               Gm
You think they all just erased us
  Eb
Betrayed us, enslaved us
        D
But the deed is done
N.C.
And now we want to get out!
           Gm
Now listen up!

Gm                  F
Ain't it nice to be underground
       Eb                   D
With a good ol' friend like me
                   Gm
(A friend like me, yeah)
                   F
So you notice that sign, we ain't lying
    Eb                  D
But sit down and take a seat (Take a seat)
           Eb
There's an exit for sure
    D
But that's for shmucks
      Eb
But a little bit of ink
      D
And a couple of bucks
       Gm
We can reopen the curtains
    F
And show off the strut
        D
But for goodness sake
               Gm
You gotta just believe!
              F               Eb
You're just returning our old strings tonight
           D
I hope you turn on the light now!

Gm
   Can I get an amen in here? (Amen!)
                     Eb
You see the magic of art
         F                     Gm
It would tear you apart if you knew!
Gm
Can I get an amen in here? (Amen!)
                              Eb
This magic was fueled by your heart
        F                         Eb
But the dreams in his eyes were untrue
       D                    Gm
He had bigger plans for the band
     F            Bb           Eb       D
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
             N.C.
You're gonna break us out!

Eb
   Go to sleep my little sheep
     F
It's time to rest your head, whether alive or dead
Bb                        F
   I am the keeper of the key
                     Gm
That will set us all free
                          Gm
I bring the demon back to life
                         Eb
(Bring the demon back to life)
          Eb
There's a song that I sing that shows us the light
     F
Even in the lighter side of hell, we sing with delight
         Bb
Play the notes that I require
          F
This will please my desires
         Gm
You have given me the tools
                  Eb
To restart this fire!
          Eb
There's a twisted fate
        F
That controls us and betrays us
   Bb
My friends have a death wish
    F                     Gm
And all of this is him to blame!
                             Eb
Now we've brought him to his knees
                    F
Your only hope to escape this is to embrace this
   Bb
We need your help
   F                  Gn
To keep this demon at bay!
N.C.
Let's end this today!
Gm
You're the conductor of this performance now, Henry!
Gm
Will you take their word, or ours?
D
Golly I hope this works!
Gm                                    D
  You turned on this machine. Now you have to believe!
N.C.         Gm
Can I get an amen in here? (Can I get an amen?)
                     Eb
You see the magic of art (Of art!)
         F                     Gm
It would tear you apart if you knew!
Gm
Can I get an amen in here? (Can I get an amen in here?)
                              Eb
This magic was fueled by your heart (Your heart!)
        F                       Eb
But the dreams in his eyes were untrue (They're untrue!)
       D                    Gm
He had bigger plans for the band
     F            Bb           Eb       D
By demand we came back to this world of grey
               D           Gm
Welcome to the gospel of dismay!
