The
Em
clock strikes twelve and
D
moon drops burst
C
out of
Bm
you from their
Em
hiding
place. Like
Em
acid and oil on a m
D
ad man's face, his
C
reason
Bm
tends to
Em
fly away.
Like
C
lesser birds on the
G
four winds; like
C
silver scrapes in
B
May. And
Em
now
the sands be
D
come a crust.
C
Most of
Bm
you have
Em
gone away.
#Note: The way I play the Em chord ( the others are played similarly ) is
#to play like an arpeggio ie.: Hold the Em chord O22OOO and play the B
#note (5th str. 2nd fret) then the E (6th open) the B again with the
#E optional (4th str. 2nd fret) and then strum the Em chord up (or down.)
#using the first 3 strings in the open position while ringing the bass notes.
