GRAND DARK FEELING OF EMPTINESS - Bonnie Prince Billy Tabbed by: bengtaaron Tuning: Standard Am

^AmWell I felt like I was b^Corn today ^AmSo I took it upon me to ^Cgo away ^AmTo gather my thoughts an^Cd go away To where ^BbI could be used by someb^Amody

Over the hill like always you know Were Billy and Frankie and Henry and Joe And they beat and broke me hard and slow To prove I was nobody

^AmAnd no one I was and s^Go remained ^AmKnocked out in a hut, no^G mother, no name ^AmAnd filled up my heart with ^Gone and the same ^AmThat grand dark f^Geeling of e^Ammptiness

And was it a friend that turned me loose? Or was it a girl come to baste my goose? Or was it my great God who laid on his finger And started my clock anew? Ah no, it was rain, ah no, it was gunning It was point break and buckle and singing and cunning That skinned me, re-skinned me and started me running And I never looked back from then on

^AmAnd now I'm learning bit by bit ^G'Bout the make and model shit ^FMuddy bowl, I live in it ^EmAnd all the mucks that t^Amire us ^AmAnd I'm afeared if I don't have ^GA piglet, lamb, or little calf ^FI'll chop my humanness in half ^EmAnd be as worm or vi^Amrus

But kids I've had, and they are sung Upon folks' ears my babes are hung And rhythmically they live among And grow but don't get old Not in a box, not in a void Not if their voice is never heard Nor if no-one repeats a word But if their tune is told, then...

^CWe can age and fa^Gll away ^CAnd meet again some g^Golden day ^AmAnd fill it in our ha^Fppy way ^AmIn starlight^G and in ^Amgold
