Title : Black Ships Ate the Sky
To play this song you only need to play the AbAb chord in a steady rhythm
and with varying degrees of distortion. Pretty easy if you ask me!
AbAb
I had already seen
AbAb
Black Ships ate the sky
AbAb
I was sweet sixteen
AbAb
The fences folded
AbAb
And the trees surrounded
AbAb
Black Ships in the sky
AbAb
Devouring the clouds
AbAb
And the thought came to me
AbAb
Just sweet sixteen and full of night
AbAb
Who will deliver me from myself?
AbAb
Who will deliver me from myself?
AbAb
And I looked up at the sleeping lion
AbAb
Black Ships ate the sky
AbAb
Colours untold
AbAb
Kissing my eyes
AbAb
To unmake myself
AbAb
And to be unborn
AbAb
To be unborn
AbAb
And not to see
AbAb
Black Ships in the sky
AbAb
With their cypress night
AbAb
Following in the wake
AbAb
Of the churning rudders
AbAb
Of Black Ships in the sky
AbAb
Cartoon Messiahs became
AbAb
Cartoon Destroyers
AbAb
If I was unborn
AbAb
I would have nothing to be grateful for
AbAb
I would have never seen love
AbAb
I would have never held cats
AbAb
I would have never buried my friends
AbAb
And prayed for their souls
AbAb
In reddening churches
AbAb
I would never have kissed
AbAb
And I would never have wept
AbAb
And I would never have seen
AbAb
Black Ships eat the sky
AbAb
And I would have been unborn
AbAb
And not have seen circuses
AbAb
Whilst watching the flowers
AbAb
Rise flags made of atoms
AbAb
Who will deliver me from myself?
AbAb
Who will deliver me from myself?
AbAb
Who will deliver me
AbAb
From Black Ships in the sky?
AbAb
Black Ships ate the sky
AbAb
And I am unborn
