VERSE 1:

Am                    Em          D/F#         Em11

At the feast of fools humour can sometimes be cruel

Am                           Em           D/F#       Em11

But under certain conditions you have to forget the rules

Am                    Em     D/F#      Em11

At the feast of fools everybody has a voice

Am                        Em         D/F#      Em11

Nobody goes to the bottom except by their own choice

CHORUS 1:

Bm

It's time for the silent criers

                 Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E

   to be held in love

Bm

It's time for the ones who dig graves for them

                     Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E

   to get that final shove

Bm

It's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed

                 Em7            Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E

   even by the faceless kings of corporations

Bm

It's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize

               Em7       Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E

   which turns out to be nothing

                 Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E

I fooled you, I fooled you...

Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E    Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E

VERSE 2:

At the feast of fools outlaws can all come home

You can wear any disguise you want but you'll be naked past the bone

At the feast of fools people's hands weave light

There's a diamond wind flowering in the darkest night

CHORUS 2:

It's time for the silent criers

   to be held in love

It's time for the ones who dig graves for them

   to get that final shove

It's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed

   even by the faceless kings of corporations

It's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize

   which turns out to be a big fat nothing

SOLO: (chords as for verses, x2)

CHORUS 3: (finish with an Em11 chord)

It's time for the singers of songs without hope

   to take a hard look and start from scratch again

It's time for these headlights racing against inescapable dark

   to be just forgotten

It's time for Harlequin to leap out of the future

   into the midst of a world of dancers

It's time for us all to stand hushed in the cathedral of silence

   waiting at the river's end

Waiting at the river's end
