Black Wings - Tom Waits ----------------------- tikkuria at yahoo dot com Bm Bsus4 Take an eye for an eye Bm Bsus4 Take a tooth for a tooth D F# F#7 Just like they say in the Bible Bm Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 Never leave a trace or forget a face D F# F#7 F# Bm Bsus4 Of any man at the table, of any man at the table Em Bm Bsus4 When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger Em Bm Bsus4 sharp enough to draw blood from a stone Em he rides through your dreams on a coach Bm Bsus4 Em and horses and the fence posts F# in the midnight look like bones Well they've stopped trying to hold him with mortar, stone and chain He broke out of every prison Boots mount the staircase The door is flung back open He's not there for he has risen He's not there for he has risen Well he once killed a man with a guitar string He's been seen at the table with kings Well he once saved a baby from drowning There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings Some say they fear him Others admire him because he steals his promise One look in his eye everyone denies ever having met him ever having met him He can turn himself into a stranger well they broke a lot of canes on his hide He was born away in a cornfield A fever beats in his head like a drum inside Some say they fear him Others admire him because he steals his promise One look in his eye everyone denies ever having met him ever having met him (repeat till end)
