Chords for Tom Waits - Black Wings (with lyrics)

_ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
Well take an eye for an eye, _ _ a tooth for a tooth, _ _ just [D] like they say [F#] in the bible, _ _ _ [A#] _ [Bm] never
leave a trace, _ _ _ _ or forget a face, [D] of any man at [F#] the table, _ _ _ _ _ any man at the [B] table, _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ [E] when the
moon _ is a cold chiseled [Bm] dagger, _ _ _ _ and [E] it's sharp enough _ to draw [Bm] blood from a stone, _ [Em] _ _ _ rise to
[E] your dreams on a [Bm] coach and horses, _ _ and [Em] the fence posts in the moonlight look [F#] like _ bones, _ _
_ [Bm] well they stop trying to hold him, with mortar stone and chain, [D] he broke out of every [F#] prison,
_ _ _ _ [Bm] where the boots mount the staircase, _ the doors flung back open, _ [D] he's not there for [F#] he has
risen, _ _ _ he's not there for [Bm] he has risen, [B] _
_ _ _ [E] some say he once killed a man with a gun, but he
has a guitar [Bm] string, _ _ _ [Em] he's been seen at the table _ [Bm] with _ kings, _ _ _ [Em] well he once saved a baby
from [Bm] drowning, _ _ _ _ [Em] there are those that say beneath his [Bm] coat there are [F#] wings, _ _ _
_ [F#m] well some [Bm] say they
fear him, _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [Bm] _ well some say they fear him, _ _ others admire him, _ because [F#m] he steals [F#] his promise,
_ _ _ one [B] look in his [Bm] eye, _ _ _ _ never one to deny, _ _ _ [D] ever having [F#] met him, _ _ _ [Bm] ever _ [F#] _ [D] [Bm] having met him, _ _ _ he [Em] can
turn himself _ into [Bm] a stranger, _ _ _ well [E] there broke a lot of canes on [Bm] his head, _ _ _ [E] he was born away
_ in a [Bm] corn field, _ _ a [Em] fever beats in his head, _ just like a [F#] drum _ inside, [G] _ _ _ some [Bm] say they fear
him, _ _ others admire [D] him, _ _ because he [F#] steals his promise, _ _ [Bm] one look in his _ eye, _ _ _ never one
to deny, _ _ _ [A#] ever [Bm] having met him, _ [F#m] ever [Bm] having met him, [F#] _ _ ever [Bm] having met him, [F#] _ ever [B]
having
met him, _ [F#] _ [F#m] ever [Bm] having met him, _ [F#] _ _ [Bm] ever having met him.
