Chords with lyrics
Capo II
A augmentedA
I thud on a drum
E MajorE
barely a span long
B minorBm A augmentedA
the rough barrel-beat
D MajorD
was my cradlesong
A augmentedA E MajorE
You ask why I keep still
B minorBm D MajorD
why I don't pour it out into the night
A augmentedA
You know
E MajorE B minorBm
You know if it rises and floats
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD
It effaces every piece of light
A augmentedA
Foreign what my lips say
E MajorE B minorBm D MajorD
Foreign my hair, my dress
A augmentedA E MajorE
Foreign what your eyes ask
B minorBm D MajorD
about this strangeness
A augmentedA E MajorE
You ask why I keep still
B minorBm D MajorD
why I don't pour it out into the night
A augmentedA
You know
E MajorE B minorBm
You know if it rises and float
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD
It effaces every piece of light
A augmentedA E MajorE
When scream masses on wound
B minorBm D MajorD
I want to meet you
A augmentedA E MajorE
When the great testimony
B minorBm D MajorD
from your branches trickles down
A augmentedA E MajorE
Here my soul grows
B minorBm
'til it smashes
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
above the scene, the balcony
