INTRO: RIFF 1 - 2x's

VERSE:
RIFF 1          
I am levitating 
RIFF 1
Somewhere down the road 
RIFF 2
With a price on my head 
RIFF 1
And the shadow of a black crow
RIFF 1 
He's been on my tail 
RIFF 1
For close to three days 
RIFF 2
Just a little souvenir 
RIFF 3
Of my wicked ways 


CHORUS:
         Em                      A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
 D                         Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don't know 
      Em                 A
The scratch marks on my soul 
           Bm               Em   RIFF 4
From the shadow of a black crow

VERSE:
RIFF 1
I've got a box of reds 
RIFF 1
And a bottle of the blues 
RIFF 2
Comes a time in your life 
RIFF 1
Honey you've gotta choose 
RIFF 1
My belly's on fire 
RIFF 1
From the acid of the truth 
RIFF 2
All the untold lies
RIFF 3 
Of my misspent youth
 

CHORUS:
         Em                      A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
 D                         Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don't know 
      Em                 A
The scratch marks on my soul 
           Bm               Em
From the shadow of a black crow 


BREAK:
Bm
 It's pretty when you're young 
Em
 Just a pity when you're old, yeah
Bm 
 Am I running away 
Em                     RIFF 4
Or am I closer to home


VERSE:
RIFF 1
The lines and the signs
RIFF 1 
The miles go by 
RIFF 2
No one ever bothered 
RIFF 1
To even ask me why 
RIFF 1 (partial)
So I am disappearing 
RIFF 1
Into this road 
RIFF 2
With a six pack of sorrow
RIFF 3
And the shadow of a black crow 


CHORUS:
         Em                      A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
 D                         Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don't know 
      Em                 A
The scratch marks on my soul 
 

CHORUS:
         Em                      A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
 D                         Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don't know 
      Em                 A
The scratch marks on my soul 
           Bm               Em
From the shadow of a black crow
