No capo, most F's in this song can be played as F7M's, as it is not so clear on the recording, use the one you like the most ;)
(verse)
C Lost in skies of powdered gold F Caught in clouds of silver ropes C Showered by the empty hopes F As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground
AmGF I know I'll wither so peel away the bark Because nothing grows when it is dark AmGF In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear I see it all so clear
(chorus)
CGAm Wo o o oh – Cover your crystal eyes GFC And feel the tones that tremble down your spine CGAm Wo o o oh – Cover your crystal eyes GFC And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
(verse)
C Making waves in pitch black sand F Feel the salt dance on my hands C Raw and charcoal coloured thighs- F -Feel so cold, And my skin feels so paper-thin
AmGF I know I'll wither so peel away the bark Because nothing grows when it is dark AmGF In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear I see it all so clear
(chorus)
CGAm Wo o o oh – Cover your crystal eyes GFC And feel the tones that tremble down your spine CGAm Wo o o oh – Cover your crystal eyes GFC And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
(Bridge - bass plays alone the shown notes.)
Am But I'm okay in see-through skin GF I forgive what is within Am Because I'm in this house G I'm in this home F All my time
(chorus)
CGAm Wo o o oh – Cover your crystal eyes GFC And feel the tones that tremble down your spine CGAm Wo o o oh – Cover your crystal eyes GFC (end) And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
