I'm not convinced that anyone but me really cares, but I'd been wanting to play this song for ages,
but I'd found it difficult because the fuzz on the guitar is so sludgy it's hard to pick out exactly
what's going on.
This is what I've come up with.
[Intro]
(downstrokes, play each chord x16):
E E7 A Am F# B
[Verse 1]
EHe resides on Mount Olympus where no mortal goes
E7He Eis my charming mentor and everybody knows
AHe'll bring you ecstasy and Amfill you with his grace
ECareening carelessly he'll coax you to his place
[Chorus 1]
Esus4HeeeeeEeeeee Bwalks through the vine rows
Esus4 EI'll Afollow where he goes
[Bridge 1]
E
[Verse 2]
EHis legs are smooth and clear and best when they run slow
E7His Enose is earthy, fruit, peppery or rose
ASometimes he's Beaujolais and Amsometimes bourgeoisie
EHe'll warm you with his touch and copious luxury
[Chorus 2]
Esus4HeeeeeEeeeee Bwalks through the vine rows
Esus4 EI'll Afollow where he goes
Esus4HeeeeeEeeeee Bwalks through the vine rows
Esus4 EI'll Afollow where he goes
[Bridge 2]
Ab| A| F#| B|
[Verse 3]
EAs I swim listlessly through the clouded night
E7HelElenic songs surround and draw me to the light
AEpicurean desires aroused; I Amfall down to my knees
EA handsome sacrifice, for Bacchus if you please
[Chorus 3]
Esus4HeeeeeEeeeee Bwalks through the vine rows
Esus4 EI'll Afollow where he goes
Esus4HeeeeeEeeeee Bwalks through the vine rows
Esus4 EI'll Afollow where he goes
[Bridge 3]
