Rake chords by Shawn James
Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro: Dm F7M G Dm Dm F7M Well, I used to wake and run with the moon G Dm I lived like a rake and a young man Dm F7M I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds G Dm My laughter the devil would frighten F7M G C Dm The sun she would come and beat me back down C G Dm But every cruel day had it's nightfall F7M G C Dm I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars C G Dm Full of fire and forgetful
Dm F7M
Well, my body was sharp, the dark air clean
G Dm
And outrage my joyful companion
Dm F7M
And whisperin' women how sweet did they seem
G Dm
Kneelin' for me to command them
F7M G C Dm
And time was like water but I was the sea
C G Dm
I wouldn't have noticed it passin'
F7M G C Dm
Except for the turnin' of night into day
C G Dm
And the turnin' of day into cursin'
Dm F7M
They look at me now, don't think I don't know
G Dm
What all your eyes are sayin'
Dm F7M
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies?
G Dm
They're just tricks that his brains been playin'
F7M G C Dm
A lover of women he can't hardly stand
C G Dm
He trembles, he's bent and he's broken
F7M G C Dm
I've fallen it's true but I say to you
C G Dm
"Hold your tongues until after I've spoken"
Dm F7M
I was takin' by pride in the pleasure I'd known
G Dm
I laughed and said I'd be forgiven
Dm F7M
But my laughter turned around, eyes blazing and
G Dm
Said, "Friend, we're holdin' a wedding"
F7M G C Dm
I buried my face but it spoke once again
C G Dm
Night to the day we're a bindin'
F7M G C Dm
And now the dark air is like fire on my skin
C G Dm
And even the moonlight is blinding
F7M G C Dm
Now the dark air's like fire on my skin
