Biography:
Antony and the Johnsons are a Mercury Prize-winning music act from New York City, New York, United States. The band is fronted by Anohni (f.k.a. Antony) who was born in 1971.
During the mid 90s Antony started solo; after originally producing songs with Blacklips Performance Cult and other late-night cabarets she had a number of songs to work with. In 1995 she assembled a backing group—the self-styled Antony and the Johnsons—and began to focus on the musical side of her performances.

Verse:
Key: G minor
What is played here is these chords with the melody incorporated.
Play it very freely, which creates this freely expressionistic sound.
The root notes of the first Ebmaj7s are very low.
| Ebmaj7 | Ebmaj7 | Bbmaj7 | Gm9 |
| Ebmaj7 | Ebmaj7 | Bbmaj7 | Gm9 |
Chorus: (notice the bass staying on G in the first line)
| F/G | Eb/G | Dm/G | Gm |
| F | Eb | Dm | Gsus2 | Gsus2 |
Verse
Chorus:
Now the symphony is seriously playing in, and extending the chords.
If you want, you can extend the chords to this:
| F6 | Ebmaj9 | Dm7 | Gm9 |
| F6 | Ebmaj9 | Dm7 | Gsus4 |
Strings interlude:
Wonderful arrangement, but it doesn't really fit into a guitar tab,
so I transcribed it into Guitar Pro instead. Just follow the link:

Chorus
Instead of Gsus4, go to an Eb:
Dm7 Eb Dm Gm9...

LYRICS
**********
Yearning for more than a blue day
I enter your new life for me
Burning for the true day
I welcome your new life for me
Forgive me
Let live me
Set my spirit free
Losing, it comes in a cold wave
of guilt and shame all over me
Child has arrived in the darkness
The hollow triumph of a tree
Forgive me
Let live me
Kiss my falling knee
Forgive me
Let live me
Bless my destiny
Forgive me
Let live me
Set my spirit free
Weakness sown
Overgrown
Man is the baby
