"Requiem For The Masses"
(Terry Kirkman)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
Written during the peak of the Vietnam War, this flip side of "Never My
Love" soon became an underground hit, and its stark dramatic tone and
shockingly beautiful requiem mass parts [became] a favorite at live
concerts.
Note: guitar is capoed at 4th fret; chords are notated in brackets

For the matadors
Who turned their backs
To please the crowd
And all fell before the bull

F#
Rex tremendae majestatis
