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]
D
Summer princess, midnight maiden
F
When I first saw you I just breathed
C
Into your smile my past went fadin'
D
Inside your voice, my mind was sheathed
F
In lost lagoon, we waited, wadin'
Em
Along the streets we went paradin'
D
Never looking back to where we'd been
D(-5) / / / / / / /
Em / / / / / / /
[Verse 2]
D
Autumn temptress, sundown angel
F
Inside your blood you aren't so young
C
I came to you a loving vandal
D
And heard your heart and touched your tongue
F
Day became a lighted candle
Em
Sky fell down beneath your sandal
D
In your eye I began to spin
D(-5) / / / / / / /
Em / / / / / / /
[Verse 3]
D
Winter harlot, moontime lover
F
I can't speak when I feel this way
C
Don't keep your feelings undercover
D
Tell me what you want today
F
Don't leave me in the air to hover
Em
Sing it out don't make me suffer
D
Don't be ashamed love is no sin
D(-5) / / / / / / /
Em / / / / / / /
[Verse 4]
D
Springtime woman, sunrise girl
F
I am hiding behind the sea
C
Trick or treat, the Hallowe'en world
D
Hide and seek but you can't catch me
F
I won't chase you until you hurl
Em
Your wing to me, and make me twirl
D
You're alive underneath my skin
D(-5) / / / / / / /
Em /
