Tiger Lillies - Drowning Girl (Bertolt Brecht)

Gm (355333@1)                             CmOnce (x3101x@1)she had drowned and started her slow descent
Cm (x3101x@1)                                       GmDown (355333@1)the streams to where the great rivers broaden
Gm (355333@1)                   CmOh, (x3101x@1)the open sky chant most magnificent
Cm (x3101x@1)                              GmAs (355333@1)if it was acting as her body's guardian

Cm (x3101x@1)                       DWreck (xx0232@1)and duck weed slowly increased her weight
Cm (x3101x@1)               DBy (xx0232@1)clasping her in their slimy grip
Cm (x3101x@1)                                DThrough (xx0232@1)her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played
Cm (x3101x@1)                                     DCreatures (xx0232@1)and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip

Gm (355333@1)                               CmAnd (x3101x@1)the sky that same evening grew dark as smoke
Cm (x3101x@1)                                                      GmAnd (355333@1)its stars through the night kept the brightness still soaring
Gm (355333@1)                           CmBut (x3101x@1)it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke
Cm (x3101x@1)                            GmTo (355333@1)see that she had one further morning

Cm (x3101x@1)                             DOnce (xx0232@1)her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair
Cm (x3101x@1)                              DIt (xx0232@1)happened quite slowly that she slipped from God's thoughts
Cm (x3101x@1)                                              DFirst (xx0232@1)with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair
Cm (x3101x@1)                        D (xx0232@1)                  GmLeaving (355333@1)those corpse-choked rivers just one more corpse
