[A]
[D] [A]
I'm on the dark [D] side [E] of [A] the hollow heat
The
[D] sun comes up babe
But it's hard [A] to get my feet
In
[D] your blue syrup, babe
And [A] it fits my mood
[D] [A] And
[D] I'm [E] through [F#m] with [Bm] baboons
And
[E] [A] I'm through with [D] fools
[A]
Somebody's calling
[E] Trying to [A] track me down
And if [D] I don't answer
[A] I'd hang around
I'd [D] slide past lovers
[E] Lost [A] in the dark
[A]
[D] [A] [E] I'd look for high [Em] ground
For [A] a building [D] or
[A]
[D] I [A] can't remember
[E]
When I [A] felt so free
[D] Maybe September
The evil [A] lived in me
[D] In nineteen hundred
And [A] ninety nine
When I found [E] the angels
A [A]-drinking wine
[D]
[A]
[D] [E]
[A]
Seems every castle
[E] Is [A] made of sand
The [D] great destroyer
Sleeps in every [A] man
[D] [A]
[D] Here comes my baby
Here [A] comes my [D] man
[A]
[D] [F#m] [E] With that silver dagger
In [A] his hand
[D] Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo [A]-oo-oo-oo-oo [D]-oo-oo [A] -oo
With [E] that silver dagger
In [A] his hand
[N]
