Chords with lyrics
from the This Strange Engine (1997) record
I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
D MajorD A/C#A/C# B minorBm
And filled me full of thirsty love
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And the memory of water
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
I wonder if a king still fishes there
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
His back towards the burned-out air
D MajorD A/C#A/C# B minorBm
His laughing catches singing loud
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
Of the memory of water
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
Your taste is blood and ecstasy
B minorBm A augmentedA
But I must drink you all alone
G+G F# minorF#m
You're freckled like a speckled egg
E MajorE B minorBm A augmentedA E/G# G+G
A augmentedA dove, but this bird has flown
D MajorD A/C#A/C# B minorBm A augmentedA
O stay with me sweet memory
G+G F# minorF#m E MajorE G+G
O stay with me
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
By the standing pool where you drank me
D MajorD A/C#A/C# B minorBm
As pain flows through me like champagne
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
