Title : Black Ships Ate the Sky
To play this song you only need to play the Ab chord in a steady rhythm
and with varying degrees of distortion. Pretty easy if you ask me!
Ab
I had already seen
Ab
Black Ships ate the sky
Ab
I was sweet sixteen
Ab
The fences folded
Ab
And the trees surrounded
Ab
Black Ships in the sky
Ab
Devouring the clouds
Ab
And the thought came to me
Ab
Just sweet sixteen and full of night
Ab
Who will deliver me from myself?
Ab
Who will deliver me from myself?
Ab
And I looked up at the sleeping lion
Ab
Black Ships ate the sky
Ab
Colours untold
Ab
Kissing my eyes
Ab
To unmake myself
Ab
And to be unborn
Ab
To be unborn
Ab
And not to see
Ab
Black Ships in the sky
Ab
With their cypress night
Ab
Following in the wake
Ab
Of the churning rudders
Ab
Of Black Ships in the sky
Ab
Cartoon Messiahs became
Ab
Cartoon Destroyers
Ab
If I was unborn
Ab
I would have nothing to be grateful for
Ab
I would have never seen love
Ab
I would have never held cats
Ab
I would have never buried my friends
Ab
And prayed for their souls
Ab
In reddening churches
Ab
I would never have kissed
Ab
And I would never have wept
Ab
And I would never have seen
Ab
Black Ships eat the sky
Ab
And I would have been unborn
Ab
And not have seen circuses
Ab
Whilst watching the flowers
Ab
Rise flags made of atoms
Ab
Who will deliver me from myself?
Ab
Who will deliver me from myself?
Ab
Who will deliver me
Ab
From Black Ships in the sky?
Ab
Black Ships ate the sky
Ab
And I am unborn
