As through the pipes the _ [Gm] waters fell,
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
down to the bottom _ [Gm] of the well,
_ _ _ _ _ _

[Eb] _ _ _ _ physical _ clearness _ [Gm] alas,
[G] _ _ Still so much [Gm] abhorred. _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ An ancient ghost awoke, _ [Gm]
and [G] fiercely _ [D] arose [Gm] in me,
_ It was [Eb] that old savage shit, a forgotten _ idea [Gm]
