Intro: E - A - E - A

Verse 1:
E1                                 A5
Midnight, and her eyes, hide like kittens, new and wet
E1                             A5
Mine are sinning hands, on her lying on my bed
E1                                  A5
The river still may rise, wild and water take us both
E1                                A5
Mine are sinning hands, take our bodies, take our clothes


Chorus chords:
D5     A5   E1         D5 A5     E1
  Bloodless moonlight,    may my lady
D5 A5      E1     D5  A5      E1
  Give her lovely    skin and bones


Interlude: E1 - A5 - E1 - A5  [~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: E1 - A5 - E1 - A5  [~x4] [w/ slide and banjo]
