 VERSE 1:
 Am                    Em          D/F#         Em11
  At the feast of fools humour can sometimes be cruel
 Am                           Em           D/F#       Em11
  But under certain conditions you have to forget the rules
 Am                    Em     D/F#      Em11
  At the feast of fools everybody has a voice
 Am                        Em         D/F#      Em11
  Nobody goes to the bottom except by their own choice


 CHORUS 1:
 Bm
  It's time for the silent criers
                  Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E
    to be held in love
 Bm
  It's time for the ones who dig graves for them
                      Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E
    to get that final shove
 Bm
  It's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed
                  Em7            Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E
    even by the faceless kings of corporations
 Bm
  It's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize
                Em7       Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E
    which turns out to be nothing
                  Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E
  I fooled you, I fooled you...
 Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E    Em7  Dadd4/E  D/E  A/E


 VERSE 2:
  At the feast of fools outlaws can all come home
  You can wear any disguise you want but you'll be naked past the bone
  At the feast of fools people's hands weave light
  There's a diamond wind flowering in the darkest night


 CHORUS 2:
  It's time for the silent criers to be held in love
  It's time for the ones who dig graves for them to get that final shove
  It's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed
    even by the faceless kings of corporations
  It's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize
    which turns out to be a big fat nothing


 SOLO: (chords as for verses, x2)


 CHORUS 3: (finish with an Em11 chord)
  It's time for the singers of songs without hope
    to take a hard look and start from scratch again
  It's time for these headlights racing against inescapable dark
    to be just forgotten
  It's time for Harlequin to leap out of the future
    into the midst of a world of dancers
  It's time for us all to stand hushed in the cathedral of silence
    waiting at the river's end
  Waiting at the river's end
