Am I married my wife on the day of the eclipse Dm Our friends awarded her courage with gifts Am Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts G I look to my sorrowful wife F G Am Who is quietly tending her flowers F G Who is quietly tending her..... (played over piano solo) Am - Dm - Am - Dm - F - G - Am - Dm - Am - Dm Am The water is high on the beckoning river Dm I made her a promise I could not deliver Am And the cry of the birds sends a terrible shiver G Through me and my sorrowful wife F G Am Who is shifting the furniture around F G Who is shifting the furniture around (played over piano solo) Am - Dm - Am - Dm - F - G - Am - Dm - Am - Dm [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/n/nick-cave-and-the-bad-seeds/286603.html ] Am Now we sit beneath the knotted Yew Dm And the bluebells bob around our shoes Am The task of remembering the telltale clues G Goes to my lovely, my sorrowful wife F G Am Who is counting the days on her fingers F G Dm Who is counting the days on her..... Am Come on and help me babe Dm Come on now Am Help me babe Dm I was blind F The grass here grows long and high G Twists right up to the sky Am Dm White clouds roll on by Am Come on now and help me babe Dm I was blind Am I was a fool babe Dm I was blind Come on now F A loose wind last night blew down G Black trees bent to the ground Am Dm Their blossoms made such a sound That I could not hear myself think babe Come on now And help me babe Help me now I was blind I was a fool  |
