Intro: E ? A ? E - A

Verse 1:
E                                  A
Midnight, and her eyes, hide like kittens, new and wet
E                              A
Mine are sinning hands, on her lying on my bed
E                                   A
The river still may rise, wild and water take us both
E                                 A
Mine are sinning hands, take our bodies, take our clothes


Chorus chords:
D           E          D        A 
  Bloodless moonlight,    may my lady
D           E     D            A
  Give her lovely    skin and bones


Interlude: E ? A ? E ? A  [~x4] [w/ slide and banjo]


Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
Midnight, and my bride, treads in distant water now
Mine are sinning hands, and my teeth have fallen out
The river still may rise, though it took more than it gave
Mine are sinning hands, on a broken windowpane


Chorus chords:
Bloodless moonlight, like my lady
Gave me only skin and bones


Outro: E ? A ? E ? A  [~x4] [w/ slide and banjo]
