Re
Db
member once I told you abo
Ab
ut
How be
Ebm
fore I heard it from your mouth
My
Db
name would always hit
Ab
my
ears
As su
Ebm
ch an awful sound
And the
Db
soul, if that’s what you’d c
Ab
all
it
Ebm
Uneasy ally of the body
It felt
Db
nameless as a ri
Ab
ver
Undis
Gb
covered
undergr
Ebm
ound
(PRE CHO)
And the
Db
first time that you
Ab
kissed
me
I drank
Ebm
dry the River Lethe
The
Db
Liffey would have been so
Ab
fter
On my sto
Ebm
mach all the same
But you s
Db
poke some quick n
Ab
ew
music
That
Ebm
went so far to soothe this soul
As it
Db
was and ever s
Ab
hall
be
U
Ebm
nearth without a name
(CHO)
Db
Some part of
Ab
me must h
Ebm
ave
died
The fi
Db
rst time that you ca
Ab
lled me, “Ba
Gb
by”
And
Db
some part of
Ab
me came a
Ebm
live
The fi
Db
rst time that you ca
Ab
lled me, “Ba
Gb
by”
(VER)
These
Db
days I think I owe
Ab
my
life
To fl
Ebm
owers that were left here
By my
Db
mother
Ain’t that
Ab
like
them
Giftin’ li
Gb
fe to you again
This
Db
life lived mostly un
Ab
derground
Ebm
Unknowin’ either sight nor sound
‘Til
Db
reachin’ up for sun
Ab
light
Just to be ri
Gb
pped out by the stem
(PRE CHO)
Sensing on
Db
ly now it’s d
Ab
yin’
Drying
Ebm
out, then drowning blindly
Bloomin’
Db
forth its every co
Ab
lour
In the
Gb
moments it has left
To share the s
Db
pace with simple li
Ab
ving
things
Ebm
Infinitely
suffering
But fighting o
Db
ff like all crea
Ab
tion
The a
Gb
bsence of itself, anyway

Some part of

The fi

The la
Db
st time it was heard out lo
Ab

The perfect
Ebm
genius of our hands
And mouths were s
Db
hocked
To resig
Ab
nation as the ar
Gb
guing
declined
When
Db
I was young I used to gu
Ab
ess
Are there
Ebm
limits to any emptiness?
Db
When was the last

time?
Come here to
Gb
me, when was the last time?
(CHO)

The
