Spirit Of Giving

I made some notes at the end regarding the instrumental interlude.

Suggestions welcome. I don't know what anyone is singing at the end.

You went looking for shelter...in all the wrong spaces

You grew gluttonous and famous...with faces

Nameless and blank, superstitiously you name them

St. Christopher and Johanna, St. Christopher and Johanna

St. Christopher and Johanna

Overcome with the holiday spirit

Mark says the herald angels won't hear it

And remember, the wolves that you run with are wolves

Don't forget

They exist to give you something to regret, I'll be there too

with something sadder than that brass portrait

which shines through your morning, dim.

Something sadder than that brass portrait

which shines through your morning, dim

I'll give you something to be sad about

Hey, the picture really capture your mouth

Poised to say: It's your turn to go down now,

it's your turn to go down now

It's your turn to go down now.

It's your turn to go down now...in the spirit of giving

D Dmaj7 D7 A7* x3 (*see below)

Cloud prayer Mary, come ah----on? etc

Notes:

*Asterisked chords aren't really chords, just a chromatic riff.

*But you can play G and A7 and get away with it, I think.

I think this is what the guitar plays. The note in parenthesis is just

meant to be a glimpse of where the repeat it going.

----5-------5-------5-------5-------5-------5----------------- repeat

The last time a guitar does something like this at the G-A7 spot

(note I changed it to G-D7 here) leading into the G D A part.

Horns and whatnot do something like this at various times
