Write me if you use this.
Note: the timing of the words to the chord changes is
approximate, because the singer uses very elastic phrasing.
This is how I do it.
[verse]
CWhen I think of heaven F
AmDeliver me Fin a black-winged Cbird
FI think of Amflying Fdown into a Csea of pens and Ffeathers
AmAnd all other Finstruments of Cfaith and sex and FGod
In the belly of a Amblack-winged Fbird.
AmDon't Ftry to feed me
AmI've been Fhere before
And CI deserve a Dlittle more
[chorus]
FI AmbelongC in the Dservice of the FQueen
FI AmbelongC anyDwhere but in betFween
FShe's been Amcrying Cand I've been thDinking
FAnd I Amam the CRain King D
[verse]
DAnd I said Cmama, mama, Fmama, why am AmI so Falone?
CI can't go Foutside
I'm scared I Ammight not make it Fhome
I'm Calive, I'm aFlive
But IAm'm sinking inF
If there's Canyone at home at Fyour place, darling
AmWhy don't you invite me Fin?
AmDon't Ftry to bleed me
AmI've been Fthere before
And CI deserve a Dlittle more
[chorus]
FI AmbelongC in the Dservice of the FQueen
FI AmbelongC anywDhere but in betFween
FShe's been Amlying Cand I've been sDinking
FAnd I Amam the CRain King D
[bridge]
AmHey, I only Cwant the same as Fanyone
AmHenderson is CwaitFing Amfor the sun
Oh, it seems night Cendlessly Fbegins and ends
AmAfter all the Cdreaming I come Fhome again
repeat C F Am F 2x here
[verse]
CWhen I think of Fheaven
AmDeliver me Fin a black-winged Cbird
FI think of Amdying
FLay me down in a Cfield of flame and Fheather
AmRender up my Fbody into the Cburning heart of FGod
In the belly of Ama black-winged Fbird
AmDon't Ftry to bleed me
AmI've been Fhere before
And CI deserve a Dlittle more
[chorus]
FI AmbelongC in the Dservice of the Fqueen
FI AmbelongC anywDhere but in betFween
FShe's been Amdying Cand I've been Ddrinking
FAnd I Amam the CRain King D
