Seven Lonely Virgins
Christopher S. Wright Sr.
Chords E, E7, Em, A, A7, G5
Intro E
Verse
E E7 G5
Conform to your convictions
E E7 G5
Or be destined to receive
Em G5 Em
Anti-Messiah’s with the cruelest of intentions
G5 Em E7
And a dozen dirty tricks up their sleeve
Pre-Chorus
A
You say you can’t remember how much time
A7
You spent forsaking his name to try to save your own
E E7 G5
So there will be no sense in penitence
E E7
Once you’re cast into the great unknown
Chorus
G5 A
Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head
G5
Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown
A E
Silent prayers carved in stone
Solo (A, E, E7, G5, A, G5, A)
Verse
E E7 G5
What reward awaits the living
E E7 G5
If death conceals its trace
Em G5 Em
How can we climb the waters if we’ve never swam the mountains
G5 Em E7
Or explored the breath of inner space
A
You say you can’t recall a better time you’ve had
A7
Beneath the penetrating tide
E E7 G5
So you find another stage to protest
E E7
All the demons that you’ve let inside
Chorus
G5 A
Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head
G5
Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown
A E
Silent prayers carved in stone
Verse
E E7 G5
Ignore those apparitions
E E7 G5
Just speculate instead
Em G5 Em
If day turns in tonight without the promise of tomorrow
G5 Em E7
How the hell are you to move ahead
A
(Maybe you should spend) less time trying
A7
To forsake his name to try to save your own
E E7 G5
Just trade in your two cents for penitence
E E7 G7
Before you’re cast into the great unknown
Chorus
G5 A
Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head
G5
Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown
A E
Silent prayers carved in stone
G5 A
Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head
G5
Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown
A E
Silent prayers carved in stone
