Intro:
Chord diagramAm7Am7  Chord diagramAm6Am6  A6/9

Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramEm9Em9                         Chord diagramAm7Am7
Once she had drowned and started her slow descent
                             Chord diagramAm7b5Am7b5  Chord diagramEm6Em6    A6/9
Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden
    Chord diagramE minorEm      Chord diagramEm9Em9                Chord diagramAm7Am7
Oh, the open sky shone most magnificent
  Am7b5b9                  Chord diagramA9A9     Emaj
As if it was acting as her body's guardian
Chord diagramE7E7                         Chord diagramA9A9            Chord diagramBm7b5 Bm7b5
Wreck and duck weed slowly increased her weight
   Chord diagramBm7Bm7                   Chord diagramAm7Am7
By clasping her in their slimy grip
   Chord diagramE7E7                                Chord diagramA9A9    Chord diagramBm7b5 Bm7b5
Through her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played
              Am7b5b9                         Chord diagramA9A9   Emaj
Creatures and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip

Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramEm9Em9                     Chord diagramAm7Am7
And the sky that same evening grew dark as smoke
                                        Chord diagramAm7b5Am7b5   Chord diagramEm6Em6       A6/9
And its stars through the night kept the brightness still soaring
Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramEm9Em9                      Chord diagramAm7Am7
But it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke
  Am7b5b9                  Chord diagramA9A9     Emaj
To see that she got one further morning
         Chord diagramE7E7                         Chord diagramA9A9    Chord diagramBm7b5 Bm7b5
Once her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair
   Chord diagramBm7Bm7                                   Chord diagramAm7Am7
It happened quite slowly that she gently slipped from God's thoughts
   Chord diagramE7E7                                     Chord diagramA9A9                 Chord diagramBm7b5 Bm7b5
First with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair
Am7b5b9       Chord diagramA9A9  E6b5 Chord diagramE minor 7Em7    Chord diagramE7E7         Chord diagramA7A7          Chord diagramBdimBdim
Leaving those corpse---choked rivers just one more corpse
