Tiger Lillies - Drowning Girl (Bertolt Brecht) Gm Cm Once she had drowned and started her slow descent Cm Gm Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden Gm Cm Oh, the open sky chant most magnificent Cm Gm As if it was acting as her body's guardian Cm D Wreck and duck weed slowly increased her weight Cm D By clasping her in their slimy grip Cm D Through her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played Cm D Creatures and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip Gm Cm And the sky that same evening grew dark as smoke Cm Gm And its stars through the night kept the brightness still soaring Gm Cm But it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke Cm Gm To see that she had one further morning Cm D Once her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair Cm D It happened quite slowly that she slipped from God's thoughts Cm D First with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair Cm D Gm Leaving those corpse-choked rivers just one more corpse Tabbed by timothio
