Verse:
F Am
In the straw-colored light
F Am
In light rapidly changing
F Am
On a life rapidly fading
Pre-chorus:
C E
Have you seen death singing
C E
Have you seen death singing
Verse:
F Am
With a throat smooth as a lamb
Yet dry as a branch not snapping
He throws back his head
And he does not sing a thing mournful
Chorus:
C E
Have you seen death singing
Have you seen death singing
Have you seen death singing
E Am
In the straw-colored light
He sings a black embrade
And white opals swimming
In a child's leather purse
Have you seen death swimming
Have you seen death swimming
With a throat smooth as a lamb
Yet dry as a branch not snapping
He throws back his head
And he does not sing a thing mournful
Have you seen death singing
Have you seen death singing
Have you seen death singing
In the straw-colored light
He sings of youth enraged
And the burning of Atlanta
And these viral times
And May ribbons streaming
And straw-colored curls a-turning
A mother's vain delight
And woe to the sun
And woe to the young
Another hearse is drawn
Have you seen death singing
In the straw-colored light
I guess that's it.
It's my debut tab, so thx for rating and comments.
