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
November
