Chords with lyrics
[Verse]
C majorC A minorAm
Hyacinth lightning virgin
G+G FF
Breathing in your ear
C majorC A minorAm
She says you've gone and hurt her
G+G FF
Turned her pure-white body clear
C majorC A minorAm
Shiver through the open window
G+G FF
The streetcars rumble by
C majorC A minorAm
You long for your winter lady
G+G FF
Not this stranger by your side
G+G FF
Not this stranger by your side
[Instrumental]
C majorC A minorAm G+G FF
C majorC A minorAm G+G FF
[Verse]
C majorC A minorAm
The morning air does compel you
G+G FF
To float down the spiral stairs
C majorC A minorAm
Spanish-blue stockings yawning
G+G FF
And the ashes in the air
C majorC A minorAm
Oh Captain, you ask yourself
G+G FF
I miss her of the raven hair
C majorC A minorAm
What future did you behold
G+G FF
When you stole me away from there
G+G FF
When you stole me away from there
[Verse]
C majorC A minorAm
She of the bloom and frost
G+G FF
Of cucumber and olive oil
C majorC A minorAm
She of the spring I've lost
G+G FF
To the song of the nightingale
C majorC A minorAm
Well, the penitent man will be forgiven
G+G FF
But the black-hearted will rot
C majorC A minorAm
So oh golden king forgive me
G+G FF
For not being what I'm not
G+G FF
For not being what I'm not
[Instrumental]
C majorC A minorAm G+G FF
C majorC A minorAm G+G FF
[Verse]
C majorC A minorAm
The captain says he won't answer
G+G FF
From his throne of light and pearls
C majorC A minorAm
Your grotesque, shrouded body
G+G FF
That you loathe and you love
C majorC A minorAm
Is just an accident only you can bear
G+G FF
You're invisible and as wild as the sea
C majorC A minorAm
And you hurt what you hold most dear
[Outro]
G+G FF
You're the traitor, and you are me
G+G FF
You're the traitor, and you are me
G+G FF
You're the traitor, and you are me
G+G FF
You're the traitor, and I am thee
C majorC A minorAm G+G FF
