I Can't See You
(Beckett/Buckley)
TIM BUCKLEY
From Tim Buckley, 1966
D(-5): xx0234
(I think that's what the chord is called.  Pink Floyd's 'Crying Song'
from the album "More" uses the same chord and the tab for the song calls
the chord 'D(-5)' so that's what I called it.)
[Intro]
 D(-5)/ / / / / / /
    Em/ / / / / / /
[Verse 1]
DSummer princess, midnight maiden
FWhen I first saw you I just breathed
CInto your smile my past went fadin'
DInside your voice, my mind was sheathed
In lost Flagoon, we waited, wadin'
Along the Emstreets we went paradin'
Never Dlooking back to where we'd been
 D(-5)/ / / / / / /
    Em/ / / / / / /
[Verse 2]
DAutumn temptress, sundown angel
FInside your blood you aren't so young
CI came to you a loving vandal
DAnd heard your heart and touched your tongue
Day beFcame a lighted candle
Sky fell Emdown beneath your sandal
In your Deye I began to spin
 D(-5)/ / / / / / /
    Em/ / / / / / /
[Verse 3]
DWinter harlot, moontime lover
FI can't speak when I feel this way
CDon't keep your feelings undercover
DTell me what you want today
Don't Fleave me in the air to hover
Sing it Emout don't make me suffer
Don't be Dashamed love is no sin
 D(-5)/ / / / / / /
    Em/ / / / / / /
[Verse 4]
DSpringtime woman, sunrise girl
FI am hiding behind the sea
CTrick or treat, the Hallowe'en world
DHide and seek but you can't catch me
I won't Fchase you until you hurl
Your wing Emto me, and make me twirl
You're Dalive underneath my skin
 D(-5)/ / / / / / /
    Em/

[Intro]

D(-5)

/ / / / / / /

[Verse 1]

Summer princess, midnight maiden

When I first saw you I just breathed

Into your smile my past went fadin'

Inside your voice, my mind was sheathed

In lost lagoon, we waited, wadin'

Along the streets we went paradin'

Never looking back to where we'd been

D(-5)

[Verse 2]

Autumn temptress, sundown angel

Inside your blood you aren't so young

I came to you a loving vandal

And heard your heart and touched your tongue

Day became a lighted candle

Sky fell down beneath your sandal

In your eye I began to spin

D(-5)

/ / / / / / /

[Verse 3]

Winter harlot, moontime lover

I can't speak when I feel this way

Don't keep your feelings undercover

Tell me what you want today

Don't leave me in the air to hover

Sing it out don't make me suffer

Don't be ashamed love is no sin

D(-5)

[Verse 4]

Springtime woman, sunrise girl

I am hiding behind the sea

Trick or treat, the Hallowe'en world

Hide and seek but you can't catch me

I won't chase you until you hurl

Your wing to me, and make me twirl

You're alive underneath my skin

D(-5)
