Current 93: A Gothic Lovesong Am F G Em I'm clicking your fingers for a gothic twilight Am F G Em That actually existed just in your head F Em Your fingernails painted black F Or bloodred G G7 I forget F G And your fake-leather volumes C Am Jabbering on hell F G Em Am Manifest decadence was what you hoped to exhail F G Am Your eyes tried so hard to glitter Am F A star-snuffing black G Em So you opened your books Am F And you opened your legs G Em And so opened your heart F Em And let in the badness F You claimed G G7 As your friend Am F With un-angels hovering G Em Like flies round the orchard Am F That had covered your soul G Em Their empire increasing F Em And your country F G G7 Deserted by yourself F G C Am The bells of St. Mary call us to remember F G Em That life is with end F G And the gestures can kill us C Am Moreover destroy F G Am And there is one judgment only Am F Your letters came daily G Em In French or in German Am F But they meant to me nothing G Em I caught the slow cords F Em F G G7 And dry ice fogging your mind F G C Am I see all too clearly now F G Em Why you could be discarded F G And though I could pray for you C Am I probably shan't F G Em Having had my cup filled up F With your lies G C Am And your makeup F G You were nothing C Am Thinking you're something F G C Am And nonetheless I still write this gothic lovesong F G A sign to myself C Am And the memory of my past F G C Am I still write this gothic lovesong F G A sign to myself C Am And the memory of my past F G Am And a way to shut out your face (I'm not saying this is great, but it works - the original is played on the piano, as well know. Enjoy, and thanks from the heart Steven Stapleton!)
