INTRO: RIFF 1 - 2x`s

VERSE:
RIFF 1
I am levitating
RIFF 1
Somewhere down the road
RIFF 2
With a price on my head
RIFF 1
And the shadow of a black crow
RIFF 1
He`s been on my tail
RIFF 1
For close to three days
RIFF 2
Just a little souvenir
RIFF 3
Of my wicked ways


CHORUS:
     G            A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
 D             Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don`t know
   Em         F#7
The scratch marks on my soul
      Bm         G RIFF 4
From the shadow of a black crow


VERSE:
RIFF 1
I`ve got a box of reds
RIFF 1
And a bottle of the blues
RIFF 2
Comes a time in your life
RIFF 1
Honey you`ve gotta choose
RIFF 1
My belly`s on fire
RIFF 1
From the acid of the truth
RIFF 2
All the untold lies
RIFF 3
Of my misspent youth


CHORUS:
     G            A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
 D             Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don`t know
   Em        F#7
The scratch marks on my soul
      Bm          G
From the shadow of a black crow


BREAK:
G             Bm
 It`s pretty when you`re young
G            Bm
 Just a pity when you`re old, yeah
G       Bm
 Am I running away
G         E  RIFF 4
Or am I closer to home


VERSE:
RIFF 1
The lines and the signs
RIFF 1
The miles go by
RIFF 2
No one ever bothered
RIFF 1
To even ask me why
RIFF 1 (partial)
So I am disappearing
RIFF 1
Into this road
RIFF 2
With a six pack of sorrow
RIFF 3
And the shadow of a black crow

CHORUS:
     G            A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
 D             Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don`t know
   Em        F#7
The scratch marks on my soul


CHORUS:
     G            A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
 D             Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don`t know
   Em         F#
The scratch marks on my soul
      Bm
From the shadow of a black crow
