 The following chords have a slightly higher change then most random 
 sets of chords, at being the right ones for "Script for a jester's  
 tear" by Marillion. I have serious doubts about many of them, so 
 remarks are very welcome. 
  
  
 So here I am once [Dm] more  
 in the playground of the [Bb] broken [C] hearts, 
 one more ex[Gm]perience, one more [F] entry  
 in a [Am] diary, self-[Dm]penned. 
 Yet another emotional [Bb] sui[C]cide,  
 overdosed on [Am] sentiment and [Dm] pride. 
 [Cm] Too late to say I [G] love you. 
 Too [Cm] late to restage the [G] play. 
 A[Cm]bandoning the [G] relics  
 in my [D] playground of yester[G]day. 
  
 I'm [D] losing on the [A] swings, 
 I'm [F#m] losing on the [Bm] roundabouts. 
 I'm [D] losing on the [A] swings, 
 I'm [F#m] losing on the [Bm] roundabouts. 
 [D] Too much, too soon,  
 [A] too far to go, 
 [F#m7] too late to play, [Bm] 
 the game is [D]o-[Bm]ver, 
 the game is [D]o-[Bm]ver. 
  
 [D] [A] [F#m]  [D] [A] [F#m] 
  
 [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] 
 [Bm] [F#sus7] [G] [A] [G] [F#sus7] 
 [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] 
 [Bm] [F#sus7] [G] [A] [G] [F#sus7] 
 [Bm] Yet [F#sus7] a[Bm]no[F#sus7]ther e[Bm]motio[F#sus7]nal 
 [Bm] su[F#sus7]i[G]cide [A] [G] [F#sus7] 
  
  	repeat these chords until you get sick of 'em, or 
  	until you reach...:  
  
 ...[A] the [G] game [F#sus7] is [Em] over.... 
  
 I [Em] act the [Bm] role in [F#sus7] classic style [Em] 
 of a [Em] martyr [Bm] carved with a [F#sus7] twisted smyle [Em] 
 To [Em] bleed the [Bm] lyrics [F#sus7] for this song [Em] 
 to [Em] write the [Bm] rites, to [F#sus7] right my wrongs [Em] 
 An [Am] epi[G]taph to a [F] broken dream [G] 
 to [Am] exor[G]cise this [F]silent scream [G] 
 A [Em] scream [Bm] [F#sus7] that's [Em] borne 
 from [Em] sorrow [Bm] [F#sus7] [Em] 
  
 	etc.... 
  
 Promised wedding now a [A] wake [F#m] [E] [B] 
  
 [Abm] [A] [F#m] [B] 
 The [Abm] fool escaped from paradise will look 
 [A] over his shoulder and cry. 
 [F#m] Sit and chew on daffodils and 
 [B] struggle to answer why? 
  
 	repeat [Abm] [A] [F#m] [B] with just one variation:  
  
 ..has gone [Abm] solo in the [A] game, 
 I've gone [D] solo [F#m] in the [B] game.
