chords for the recording I have. Thanks to dressrag1 for laying out the base.
Capo: 2 nd fret
Intro: Am  
Amgather 'round, you wounded people
Dmshadows fall upon the steeple,
Amsoon shall come the cGlosing of,
the cFadd9losing oFf the gGates
Amfor there is a word of plague among us
Fcurse the one whose poison stung us,
Call along the aAmlleyways
the sGatyrs wait their faFteG  
Ambut who's to blame when all are guilty
Dmmorals stained & conscience filthy
Amabreast your idol Greplicas
your Fadd9replicFas of lGust,
Amin the sky I hear the threshing
Fdare to watch your lord undressing
Cwhile you beg forgAmiveness,
you fGeed on his disguFstG  
but iCf perhaps the sGalt might stain your sFkinC  G  
and Amif perhaps the smGoke might weep your FeyesC  G  
Clisten while the tGhrenodies begiCnG  
Amknow no one in hGere gets out aFlive.G  
Ambut let your frailty not deceive you
Dma little pinprick, rest relieves you,
Amand dream of all the dGays that are,
the yFadd9ears that Fare to Gcome -
for Amyou will dance & you'll be nimble
Fpirouettes upon a thimble
and CI will be bAmeside you
lest I lGose you once aFgain.G  
but iCf perhaps my sGorrows all are sFhowC  G  
and I Amshould find a crGack among the gaFtes,C  G  
Cguilt shall follow Gme where'er I CgoG  
Amthough I try I kGnow I can't eFscapeG  
 C   G   C   G   C   G   F   F(x2)
Amand when you're gone the earth will crumble
DmI will try but I will stumble
Amand all through these cGity streets
my Fadd9robes shall dFrag the gGround
Amhear the children swing with sorrow,
Fyesterday was once tomorrow
Cno more I'll be tAmroubled
by the tGroubles of this FworldG  
but Cif I lose my sGtep along the FwayC  G  
and Amif the speech of vGictim fills my tFhroatG  
Cout beyond past the cliffs that shape the dAmay
                                   G6   (= 320000)
it's there I’ll wander, there I’ll stray
it's there I’ll look for you when aFll my trials are Gdone
CI feign sleep to save my brAmeath,
this love is loss, this life is tG6heft,
and all that's left is some vain nFeed to carry oGn
and tChough I fear the tightening of the skAmies

oh lord, the company I keFep within my hGead
Cthe scent of flesh might tease the nAmose
it claims the calm, it clings the cGlothes

Maybe the other submission are the chords for another recording, but anyway: these are

chords for the recording I have. Thanks to dressrag1 for laying out the base.

Capo: 2 nd fret

Intro:

gather 'round, you wounded people

shadows fall upon the steeple,

Am G

soon shall come the closing of,

Fadd9 F G

the closing of the gates

for there is a word of plague among us

curse the one whose poison stung us,

C Am

all along the alleyways

G F G

the satyrs wait their fate

but who's to blame when all are guilty

morals stained & conscience filthy

Am G

abreast your idol replicas

Fadd9 F G

your replicas of lust,

in the sky I hear the threshing

dare to watch your lord undressing

C Am

while you beg forgiveness,

G F G

you feed on his disgust

C G F C G

but if perhaps the salt might stain your skin

Am G F C G

and if perhaps the smoke might weep your eyes

C G C G

listen while the threnodies begin

Am G F G

know no one in here gets out alive.

but let your frailty not deceive you

a little pinprick, rest relieves you,

Am G

and dream of all the days that are,

Fadd9 F G

the years that are to come -

for you will dance & you'll be nimble

pirouettes upon a thimble

C Am

and I will be beside you

G F G

lest I lose you once again.

C G F C G

but if perhaps my sorrows all are show

Am G F C G

and I should find a crack among the gates,

C G C G

guilt shall follow me where'er I go

Am G F G

though I try I know I can't escape

C G C G C G F F

(x2)

and when you're gone the earth will crumble

I will try but I will stumble

Am G

and all through these city streets

Fadd9 F G

my robes shall drag the ground

hear the children swing with sorrow,

yesterday was once tomorrow

C Am

no more I'll be troubled

G F G

by the troubles of this world

C G F C G

but if I lose my step along the way

Am G F G

and if the speech of victim fills my throat

C Am

out beyond past the cliffs that shape the day

G6 (= 320000)

it's there I’ll wander, there I’ll stray

F G

it's there I’ll look for you when all my trials are done

C Am

I feign sleep to save my breath,

this love is loss, this life is theft,

F G

and all that's left is some vain need to carry on

C Am

and though I fear the tightening of the skies

against the dawn I'll watch you rise

F G

oh lord, the company I keep within my head

C Am

the scent of flesh might tease the nose

it claims the calm, it clings the clothes

could that be you, my love?

F G

your dust upon the wind?

C Am G6 F G

(x2)

C G F G

(x4)
