Deaths Love Song chords by Reina Del Cid

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G
Dear, it’s time we met
          Em
yes it’s true, you don’t know me yet
             C
but dust to dust
                Em
you’ll learn to trust
            A7                 D   D7
that in the end, there is only us

Verse 2:
      G
Don’t believe what they say of me
           Em
the poets’ slander and heresy
            C                   Em
my face is cruel but my love is true
            A7                D   D7
and I won’t rest till I have you

Bridge:
C G B7 Em
mmmmm
C G D D7
ohoohoohoo

Verse 3:
             G
Through every season of your life
              Em
I watched you hold your lovers tight
           C                     Em
and how I burned just to wait my turn
             A7                          D          D7
to take your hand and lead you off this earth

Verse 4:
            G
Soon the bells will chime for me
            Em
The singing ode to finality
                  C                     Em
and it's a sweet refrain that calls my name
         A7                 D          D7
leads me right to resting place

Chorus:
 C                    G
Oh my sweet thing, fear not
          C                      G
you just board my ship and we’ll take off
    Em              A7              D        D7
to fare the darkest sea, the gentlest night
 C                  G
Take that body and give it up
          C             G
you just step inside my chariot
          Em           A7               D
Oh, you’ve never had a lover quite like me
      D7              C
so let’s ride to eternity

Bridge:
G B7 Em
  mmmmm
C G D D7
ohoohoohoo

Verse 5:
           G
Like the ones before you
     Em
you fear what’s in store for you
               C               Em
and so you’ll run under the golden sun
         A7                         D       D7
heading west till it’s all said and done

Verse 6:
             G
With every drag on your cigarette
       Em
do you feel how close I get?
           C                Em
Take your pills if you feel ill
           A7
they might break my hold
               D
but they won’t break my will

Verse 7:
           G
Now you’re pale and short of breath
     Em
sit down with your spinning head
             C                   Em
It’s almost time, I can see the signs
      A7                     D       D7
that soon you’ll forever be mine

Chorus:
 C                    G
Oh my sweet thing, fear not
          C                      G
you just board my ship and we’ll take off
    Em              A7              D        D7
to fare the darkest sea, the gentlest night
 C                  G
Take that body and give it up
          C             G
you just step inside my chariot
          Em           A7               D
Oh, you’ve never had a lover quite like me
      D7              C
so let’s ride to eternity

Bridge:
G B7 Em
  mmmmm
C G D D7
ohoohoohoo

Chorus:
 C              G
Let go of those weary bones
        C                G
and just climb aboard my ferryboat
 Em            A7                      D        D7
I will row us gently through the dying light
C               G
I will keep you company
      C             G
as we drift toward immortality
       Em            A7              D
Oh you never had a lover quite like me
          D7          C
so let’s ride to eternity

Outro:
G B7 Em
  mmmmm
C G D D7  Em
ohoohoohoo
