Swans - God damn the sun : Burning World (1989) * This is one of Michael Gira's finest songs as far as I'm concerned. The album it on (Burning World) is impeccable and marked an interesting shift in direction for The Swans. * Listening to the guitars will help you with your rhythm, just keep it simple and use I hope to analyse the parts in greater detail later on down the track, so keep your eyes for a Powertab / Guitar Pro version. The Swans were never renowned for virtuosity, but certainly came up with interesting textures and ideas. That was their brilliance....

CWhen, when we were Cadd4young We had no Ghistory So nothing to Dmadd9lose
Meant we could Cchoose Choose what we Cadd4wanted then Without any Gfear, or thought of reDmadd9venge
But then you grew Cold And I lost my amCadd4bition So I gained an adGdiction To drink and deDmadd9pression
They are Cmine Caddd4 My only true friends And I'll keep them Ghere with me Until the very Dmadd9end
I'd choose not to remeCmber But I miss yourCadd4 arrogance And I need your iGntelligence And your hate Dmadd9for authority
But now you're gCone I read it todayCadd4 They found you inG Spain Face down in tDmadd9he street
With a bottle in your Chand And a wild smilCadd4e on your face And a knife in yoGur back You died in a Dmadd9foreign land
And they found my lettCer Rolled up in yoCadd4ur pocket Where I said I'd Gkill myself If she left meDmadd9 again
So now she's goCne And you're bothCadd4 in my mind I've got one thinGg to say
Before I am drunk again:
God damn the SCun God damn theCadd4 Sun God damn anyGone That says a kiDmadd9nd word
God damn the SCun God damn The SuCadd4n God damn the lighGt it shines And this worldDmadd9 it shows God damn the CSun
