Intro LAm MIsus LAm MIsus
Am G ~
I was alone my heart was cold it was a stone,
FAmaj7 MI
my soul was lonely like a stone - there was no moss.
Am G ~
And when I danced I danced alone but then I did not dance
FAmaj7 MI
because I *was* alone. So I did not dance.
Am G _~_ Fmaj7
I shuffled through life invisible to all the happy couples who would mock
MI
me with their merry laughter – “ha-ha-ha”.
LAm SOL FA
The only sound I heard in my lonely silent world was the rusty hammer of my
MI LAm
heart nailing at the hatred in my soul.
E - G - Am (quickly)
[ synth strings ]
SOL DOmaj7
But then you came,
REm REmmaj7 REm7
and my life was turned upside down.
REm7 SOL7
You showed me the beauty of the things that I had never seen.
C [ Embellish with Cmaj7, C/G and C ]
Like a snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deer.
REm REmaj7 REm7
Or the painting of a dog that wears a deerstalker[1] and
SOL7 REm REmmaj7
smokes a pipe that made you laugh so heartily,
REm7 SOL7 DO DOmaj7 DO/SOL
but I had previously thought was rubbish.
REm REmmaj7 REm7
Or the duck that lands so clumsily on a frozen pond in winter
SOL7
but the intoxicating power of our love transforms this simple act into an
DO DOmaj7
anthropomorphic drama where Mr. Duck’s embarrassed and the other ducks are
DO DOmaj7 DO/SOL
laughing (quack quack quack quack quack).
MI/ LAm
AND THEN YOU LEFT! [Flamenco Style]
SOL FA MI
And I have died a thousand deaths and I will die a thousand more!
LAm SOL FA MI
I thought you were an angel - you turned out to be a whore!
LAm SOL FA MI
And everything has turned to dust! Everything is infected with the plague!
MI LAm
Why did you have to sleep with Craig?
SOL FA MI
"Oh he's so sensitive, he's got a tattoo."
FA MI
Yeah, carving your name with a compass in my forehead was not enough for you!
FA MI FA MI
[ Flutes ]
LAm SOL
The snow flake on the eye of the dear has turned to
FA MI
puss that oozes from an open wound.
FA MI
The deer now blind it stumbles into a ravine.
LAm SOL
The duck lies shredded in a pancake,
FA MI
soaking in the hoisin of your lies.
LAm SOL
The dog has moved from the pipe to 60 cigarettes a day,
FA REm MI LAm SOL
and coughs away his life in the cold neon research lab of your betrayal.
FA SOL LAm
Of your betrayal...(fade)
Love You Loads Nat!!
