 Em   Ax4
In the moEmonlight
By the seAa
In a couEmntry
In a toAwn
EmNow quickly
ANow slowly
EmNow in pAainEm  
ANow in love
EmIn different shAapes
EmWhen I was youAng
EmWhen I was youAng
EmI used to drAeam
EmAnd the wind bAlows
EmAnd the owl siAngs
EmAnd dogs are drAiven wild
EmAnd dogs breAak their chains
EmAnd run throuAgh the lands
EmA prey to madAness
EmWith wild eyes dyAing
EmWith wild eyes buArning
EmThey raise their heAads
EmThey swell theAir cold necks
EmLike a cat that's Aripped its guts
EmLike a hungry chAild's breath
EmLike a woman abAout to give birth
EmLike a young giArl singing
  Em   Ax2
EmAt the stars in the nAorth
EmAt the stars in the sAouth
EmAt the stars in the wAest
EmAt the stars in the eAast
EmAt the moon
AAt the mountains
EmAt the rocks
AAt the pain
EmAt the thief
AAt the snakes
EmReveal their blacAk black backs
EmFresh flAesh
EmGlazed eyes sAtare
EmFrom long pale huAman faces
EmWe cannot satisfy the Ahopes
EmWe are now deAad
EmWe are all dAead
EmThe hammer breaks the Aanvil
Em  A
EmFrom the cleft Aof its hood
EmIt was fair aAs morning anEmd full of heaven Adew
Em A
EmThen it put on daArknessEm  
ADeclined its softness
EmAnd put on the sAymptoms of Emits sickly ageA  
It bEmowed its head anAd broke its stalk
It lEmost its lAeaves and Emall its beAauty
EmFalling to wAeeds and unEmknown faAces
EmThe same is the Aportion
EmOf man and womAan
EmThe black heriAtage
EmOf worms and sAerpents
EmRottenness and colAd discharge
Em   A
Out Embeauty is Anow so cEmhanged
My frAiends

Em A

In the moonlight

By the sea

In a country

In a town

Now quickly

Now slowly

Em A Em

Now in pain

Now in love

Em A

In different shapes

Em A

When I was young

Em A

When I was young

Em A

I used to dream

Em A

And the wind blows

Em A

And the owl sings

Em A

And dogs are driven wild

Em A

And dogs break their chains

Em A

And run through the lands

Em A

A prey to madness

Em A

With wild eyes dying

Em A

With wild eyes burning

Em A

They raise their heads

Em A

They swell their cold necks

Em A

Like a cat that's ripped its guts

Em A

Like a hungry child's breath

Em A

Like a woman about to give birth

Em A

Like a young girl singing

Em A

At the stars in the north

Em A

At the stars in the south

Em A

At the stars in the west

Em A

At the stars in the east

At the moon

At the mountains

At the rocks

At the pain

At the thief

At the snakes

Em A

Reveal their black black backs

Em A

Fresh flesh

Em A

Glazed eyes stare

Em A

From long pale human faces

Em A

We cannot satisfy the hopes

Em A

We are now dead

Em A

We are all dead

Em A

The hammer breaks the anvil

Em A

From the cleft of its hood

Em A Em A

It was fair as morning and full of heaven dew

Em A

Em A Em

Then it put on darkness

Declined its softness

Em A Em A

And put on the symptoms of its sickly age

Em A

It bowed its head and broke its stalk

Em A Em A

It lost its leaves and all its beauty

Em A Em A

Falling to weeds and unknown faces

Em A

The same is the portion

Em A

Of man and woman

Em A

The black heritage

Em A

Of worms and serpents

Em A

Rottenness and cold discharge

Em A

Em A Em

Out beauty is now so changed

My friends

Em A

My friends

Em A

Em A Em A

By violence and secret influence

Em A Em A

The aspect of a star and the stink of a mist

Em A

By emissions of a cloud

Em A

The meeting of a vapour

Em A Em A

By the fall of a chariot and the stumbling at a stone

Em A Em A

By a full meal or an empty stomach

Em A Em A

By watching at wine or by watching at prayers

Em A

By the sun or the moon

Em A

By a heat or a cold

Em A Em A

By sleepless nights or sleeping days

Em A

By water frozen

Em A

To the hardness of a dagger

Em A

Em A Em A Em A Em A

Or water thawed into the floods of a river

Em A

By a hair or a current

Em A

By violent motion

Em A

By sitting still

Em A

Or severely

Em A

By dissolution

By God's mercy

Or God's anger

Em A Em A

We take pains to heap up things useful to our life

Em A Em A Em A

And get our deaths in the bargain and the person is snatched away

Em A

Em A Em A

And the goods remain and all this is

Em A Em A Em

The law and constitution of nature unveiled it is a

Punishment to our sins

Em A Em A

The unalterable event of providence and the decree

Em A

Of Heaven

Em A
