I Believed You William Blake

[Verse 1]
Am       E       Am
Have you seen my husband?
      Am        G     C
You'd know him, if you had
     G                C      G
He's known around old London Town
     F     E          Am
Most people think he's mad

Am            E          Am
My husband he talks with angels
         Am           G      C
And with spirits that he can see
   G                C   G
He passes time with the divine
    F     E         Am
But not so much with me


[Chorus]
      F                C
But I held him when he faltered
     F                   C    G
When earth and faith did shake
       Am           Dm
And on my grave the words will say
      F         E       Am
"I Believed You, William Blake"


[Verse 2]
   Am         E      Am
We scraped by in the shadows
          Am   G        C
Sown with pity and with scorn
    G                   C     G
The great and good they never could
F          E       Am
Recognize a prophet born

     Am     E   Am
With poetry and engravings
       Am    G  C
He presented Paradise
      G               C     G
He revealed to them a Jerusalem
F             E    Am
They would not recognize


[Chorus]
      F                C
But I held him when he faltered
     F                   C    G
When earth and faith did shake
    Am              Dm
And on my grave the words will say
      F         E       Am
"I Believed You, William Blake"

Mr. William Blake
            Em/B             Am Ammaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
There's one promise you must make
F                        G
Dear William, if you're right
           Em/B           Am Ammaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
About life on the other side, about paradise
F                      G
Then you must promise me
               Em/B              Am Ammaj7
That you won't leave me when you leave
     Am7         Fmaj7
This world that didn't believe
F                      G
Be a comfort to your wife
             Em/B           Am Ammaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
She gave you up her one and only certain life


[Outro]
F                        G
Don't you leave me in my grave
  Em/B                 Am Ammaj7
I believed you William Blake
Am7               Fmaj7
I'll be with you, damned or saved
F                        G
Don't you leave me in my grave
    Em/B               Am E Am
I believed you William Blake
