Capo 4
Em C G
Oh mother I'm scared to die
Em C G
Where, where do my good deeds lie
Em C G
Oh father I'm scared to live
Em C G
Takes more than I've got to give
Em C G
Oh sister my voice is weak
Em C G
Oh brother I long for sleep
Em C G
Oh hunger I know you well
Em C G
My cruel friend is a funeral bell
Em
And it rings in the day
C G
And it rings in the evening
Em C G
Oh I could pray but it won’t stop you leaving
Em C G
Shadow in black you are grim from your reaping
Em C G
Oh can’t you spare just a day for the weeping
Em C G
Oh lover I know you’re there
Em C G
And I'd follow you anywhere
Em C G
Oh give me a hand to hold
Em C G
So that I may face the cold
Em
Cause it rings in the day
C G
And it rings in the evening
Em C G
Oh I could pray but it won't stop you leaving
Em C G
Shadow in black you are grim from your reaping
Em C G
Oh can't you spare just a day for the weeping
Em
Cause it rings in the day
C G
And it rings in the evening
Em C G
Oh I could pray but it won’t stop you leaving
Em C G
Shadow in black you are grim from your reaping
Em C G
Oh can’t you spare just a day for the weeping
Em C G
Oh can’t you spare just a day for the weeping
