• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: F#m

♫ Verse 1:
        F#m                        Bm7
A dozen crows and then some on the rhododendrons
       Dmaj7             C#7
In the cemetery where I lay
     F#m                   Bm7
Like Rebecca reigning over Manderley
   Dmaj7                 C#7
My foot fell upon your grave
       F#m                   Bm7
Like a pressure point hidden beneath the soil
          D                  C#7
Down came sheets of pouring hail
  F#m                       Bm7
I sheltered in the church's archway then
         D                           C#7
From the shards of glass falling so pale

♫ Chorus:
F#m                         Em       Bm
And I looked up and saw the sun, it separated all the colors
        E                     D                C#7
And the ice, into my eyes, it fell and left me blind
             F#m               Bm                         C#m7     C#7
That was the last thing that I saw, the fractured glass in its downpour
           F#m                Bm                 C#
I felt the blood mix with the water and I didn't see no more

♫ Verse 2:
F#m                        Bm7
 I came across an injured dove
D                       C#7
I wanted to put her out of her misery
F#m                       Bm
There came no signal from above
D                            C#7
No sign, no guide, I thought whatever could this mean
F#m                           Bm7
And with my hand I picked her up
Dmaj7                       C#7
 And in that moment, oh, it shifted magically
F#m                           Bm7    Dmaj7       F#m
For when her feathers felt my touch, I saw her a demon

Feathers, they turned black
Bm             F#m             C#7
Oh, she was no Phoenix, but a creature of the ash

♫ Chorus:
          F#m             E
I let her go, she hit the ground
            D                  C#7
I heard the thud, regained her color
        F#m                 E            Bm              C#
Saw the scars, she had been bound by someone and left to die

♫ Bridge:
               Bm
I never really found that dove
            A
It's just a story I made up
                 D
Because I wanted all of this to stop
                  A
And I didn't know how to tell you
D                     Bm        D
 I didn't know how (mhm, mhm, mhm)
A                      Bm   D    A      E
Oh, I didn't know how (mhm, mhm, mhm) (ooh)

♫ Chorus:
             Bm           D            A
And I looked up, into the sun, it separated all the colors
        Bm                            A
And the ice into my eyes, it fell and left me blind
             Bm7             D              A          E
And I looked up, and saw the sun, it separated all the colors
        Bm          D                  A               E
And the ice into my eyes, it fell and changed my mind
