Standard Tuning: CAPO 2

A5     B5
 Dear friend as you know
F#5
 Your flowers are withering
A5     B5
 Your mother's gone missing
F#5
  Your leaves have drifted away


A5        B5
 But the clouds are clearing up
F#5
 And I've come reveling
A5         B5
 Burning incandescently
F#5
 Like a bastard on the burning sea


A5       B5
 You're just like your father
F#5
 Buried deep beneath the water
A5     B5                  F#5
 Your pressing on your laurel
                   A5
 Is stepping on my toes
       B5
 Whose side are you on?
F#5 
 What side is this anyway?
A5    B5                  F#5
 Put down your sword and crown

 Come lay with me on the ground


A5         B5
 You come beating like moth's wings
F#5
 Spastic and violently
A5         B5        F#5
 Whipping me into a storm

 Shaking me down to the core
A5    B5
 But you run away from me
F#5
 And you left me shimmering
A5     B5
 Like diamond wedding rings
F#5
 Spinning dizzily down on the floor


A5       B5
 You're just like your father
F#5
 Buried deep beneath the water
A5     B5                  F#5
 Your pressing on your laurel
                   A5
 Is stepping on my toes
       B5
 Whose side are you on?
F#5 
 What side is this anyway?
A5    B5                  F#5
 Put down your sword and crown

 Come lay with me on the ground


A5       B5
 You're just like your father
F#5
 Buried deep beneath the water
A5     B5                  F#5
 Your pressing on your laurel
                   A5
 Is stepping on my toes
       B5
 Whose side are you on?
F#5 
 What side is this anyway?
A5    B5                  F#5
 Put down your sword and crown
                         A5
 Come lay with me on the ground
