Jubal

Weird that this isn't a thread I made already, but here we go, a grim but seasonal one:

Innocents' Carol
Who's that knocking at the window?
Em
Who's that standing at the door?
Em                         D
What are all those presents laying on the kitchen floor?
C                  G                              D
Who is the laughing stranger with his hair as white as gin?
Em                                    D                Em
What is he doing with the children?
C                         G
Who could have let him in?
G                      D

Why has he rubies on his fingers?
G          C             D   Em
Gold crown on his head.
     Em    D      Em
Why when he calls his carol
G   C                 D  Em
Does the salty snow run red?
Em        D             Em

Why does he ferry my fireside
As a spider on a thread,
His fingers made of fuses
And his tongue of gingerbread?
Why does the world before him
Melt in a million suns,
Why do his yellow, yearning eyes
Burn like saffron buns?

Watch where he comes walking
Out of the Christmas flame,
Dancing, double-talking:
And Herod is his name.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...
