Dig him up and shake his hand

Appreciate the man

C D Bm Em
Before there were junk stores, before there was junk

He lived with his mother and the torments of Christ
C D Bm Em
The world was transformed; a crowd gathered round
Bm Em Am D
Pressed against his window so they could be the first

To meet James Ensor

Raise a glass and sit and stare

He lost all his friends; he didn't need his friends

The crowd at his window went back to their homes

Meet James Ensor
Belgium's famous painter
Dig him up and shake his hand

Well, it's a song about James Ensore, the relativly famous artist. It's a few basic facts about his life and times. I guess. . .
