[Intro]
Bbm Bbm Gb Gb Ebm Ebm
[Riff]
Bbm Bbm Gb Gb Ebm Ebm Ab
[Verse 1]
Bbm Bbm
In the morning mist
Db Gb
by the waning moon
Gb
through the woods she set on foot
Ebm
With a sacred blade cut the berries down
Ab Gm F Em G/D
Dug up the dreaded mandrake root
[Interlude]
Gm F Em G/D
[Chorus]
Bb Eb Gm Gm
Tread my path to summer's end
Bb Eb Gm Gm
This bequest I leave you, she says
Bb Eb Gm Gm
You will see what could be evergreen
Bb Eb Gm Gm
Turn to copper and fade to gray
[Verse 2]
Bbm Bbm
By the standing stones
Gb
Atropine eyes smiled at me
Gb Ebm
Sitting in a sluggish vertigo
Ebm Ab
Sands of time form another dream
[Verse 3]
Bbm Bbm
No love without sacrifice
Db Gb
No life springs without decay
Gb
The final kiss is a wormy one
Ebm Ebm
In soil's cold caress to rest we'll lay
Ab Gm F Em G/D
to rest we'll lay
[Interlude]
Gm F Em G/D
[Chorus]
Bb Eb Gm Gm
Tread my path to summer's end
Bb Eb Gm Gm
This bequest I leave you, she says
Bb Eb Gm Gm
You will see what could be evergreen
Bb Eb Gm Gm
Turn to copper and fade to gray
[Outro]
