[Ab]
[Db] I [Ab] saw it as you flew between [Eb] my reason Like [Bb]
a raven in the night [Bbm] time when [Db] you left
I [Ab] wore a chain upon my wrist that bears [Db] your name
You [Ab]
touched it and [Eb] you wore it And [Bbm] you kept it in your pillow all the [Db]
same
My heart, my [Ab]
gender, has flown from out [Db] my arms I thought myself a [Bbm]
keeper, she thought I meant her [Eb]
harm
[Ab] She thought I was an archer, a weapon that [Db]
overworks But I could never [Gb]
shoot [Ab] [Gb] down
[Db]
My heart, [Ab] my gender
The [Gb]
[Db] [Ab]
white walls of your dressing room [Db] are stained scarlet red
You [Ab]
fled upon the coast, don't lie to [Eb] young men
[Bbm]
In the foreign field [Db] of death
Oh, [Ab]
what an empty wonderful [Db] is all I have to say
[Ab] Never closed your eyes at night and learned [Eb] to love the light
[Bbm]
Instead you moved [Db]
away
My heart, my [Ab]
gender, has flown from out [Db] my arms I thought [Ab] myself a [Bbm]
keeper, [Bb] she thought I meant [Eb] her harm
She [Ab] thought I was an archer, a weapon [Db] that overworks But I could never [Bbm]
shoot [Ab] [Gb] down

My heart, my [Ab] gender, has flown from out [Db] my arms I thought myself a [Bbm]
