November

   Em      B7
it only believes
     D            G
in a pile of dead leaves
      Em              C        B7
and a moon that's the color of bone
   Em          C           D      G (or B7)
No prayers for November to linger longer
           Em           B  B7
stick your spoon in the w--all
      Em             B  B7
we'll slaughter them a--ll

Verse 2:
  Em          D/F#         G        D
November has tied me to an old dead tree
    G       D        G      B7
get word to April to rescue me

   Em           C             D             G
November's cold chain made of wet boots and rain
    Em          C         D             B7
and shiny black ravens on chimney smoke lanes

  Em           B  B7
November seems o--dd
          Em     B  B7
you're my firing sq--uad
Em
November


Bridge:
Bm   C   C#m   D   D#m   E   B7


Verse 3:
        Em           B7
With my hair slicked back
      Em         B7
with carrion shellac
         Em           B7
with the blood from a pheasant
        Em          B7
and the bone from a hare

Em          C             D       G
tied to the branches of a roebuck stag
        Em          C             D         B7
left to wave in the timber like a buck shot flag

    Em      B    B7
Go away you rainsnout
    Em            B      B7
go away blow your brains out
Em
