Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Jesus Alone" Suggested fingerings: G 3xxxxx or 3x5xxx Gm xx533x or x1087xx Gm alt 3553xx F xx321x or x875xx Bb xx333x or x887xx C xx555x or x10109xx Note: The majority of the verse is just the note G, not an actual chord. But the lead melody implies a Gm tonality. [Verse]
GYou fell from the sky GCrash landed in a field GNear the river Adur GFlowers spring from the ground GLambs burst from the wombs of their mothers GIn a hole beneath the bridge GShe convalesce, she fashioned masks of clay and twigs GYou cried beneath the dripping trees GGhost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid
[Chorus]
With my Gmvoice F Gm alt I am calling you
[Verse]
GYou're a young man waking GCovered in blood that is not yours GYou're a woman in a yellow dress GSurrounded by a charm of hummingbirds GYou're a young girl full of forbidden energy GFlickering in the gloom GYou're a drug addict lying on your back GIn a Tijuana hotel room
[Chorus]
With my Gmvoice F Gm alt I am calling you With my Bbvoice C Gm alt I am calling you
[Verse]
GYou're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts GYou believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now GYou're an old man sitting by a fire, hear the mist rolling off the sea GYou're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?
[Chorus]
With my Gmvoice F Gm alt I am calling you With my Bbvoice C Gm alt I am calling you
[Bridge]
GLet us sit together until the moment comes With my Gmvoice F Gm alt I am calling you Bb F Gm alt Let us sit together in the dark until the moment comes
[Chorus]
With my Gmvoice F Gm alt I am calling you With my Bbvoice C Gm alt I am calling you With my Bbvoice F Gm alt I am calling you With my Bbvoice C Gm alt I am calling you
