“THE DROWNING MAN”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1981
Tabbed by: graph_sas
Tuning: normal
Intro: Dm, Em, Bb
Riff 1: [Dm, Em, Bb]
Dm Em
She stands twelve feet above the flood
Bb
She stares
Alone
Across the water
Dm Em
The loneliness grows and slowly
Bb
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb]
G F#
One by one her senses die
Bb
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
G F#
Still seeing worlds that never were
Bb Repeat Riff 1: [Dm, Em, Bb] x2
And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Repeat Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb] x 2
Dm Em
Starting at the violent sound
Bb
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Dm Em
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
Bb
The water bows
Receives her
G F# Bb
And drowns her at its ease
G F# Bb
Drowns her at its ease
Dm Em
I would have left the world all bleeding
Bb
Could I only help you love
Dm Em Bb
The fleeting shapes so many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
G F#
Everything was true
Bb
It couldn't be a story
G F#
I wish it was all true
Bb
I wish it couldn't be a story
Dm
The words all left me
Em
Lifeless
Hoping
Bb
Breathing like the drowning man
Dm Em
Oh Fushia
You leave me
Bb G, F#, Bb
Breathing like the drowning man
Bb G, F#, Bb
Breathing like the drowning man
Repeat Riff 1,and 2 two times alternately to the end...
