G5                               C5
Once she had drowned and started her slow descent
C5                                         G5
Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden
G5                     C5
Oh, the open sky chant most magnificent
C5                                G5
As if it was acting as her body's guardian

C5                         D5
Wreck and duck weed slowly increased her weight
C5                 D5
By clasping her in their slimy grip
C5                                  D5
Through her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played
C5                                       D5
Creatures and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip

G5                                 C5
And the sky that same evening grew dark as smoke
C5                                                        G5
And its stars through the night kept the brightness still soaring
G5                             C5
But it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke
C5                              G5
To see that she had one further morning

C5                               D5
Once her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair
C5                                D5
It happened quite slowly that she slipped from God's thoughts
C5                                                D5
First with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair
C5                          D5                    G5
Leaving those corpse-choked rivers just one more corpse
