Standard (EADGBE)

 I don't mean to hold a gun up to your head

 I'll be fi[A']ne once you are go[G']ne, of that I'm sure

 Another time and I'd be smiling in your eyes

 For the [A']sake of all our lo[G']ve and that I know

 But the rising of the moon means the ending of the day

 [G']Time waits for no-one just takes you away

 I don't mean to hold a gun up to your head

 It's just the anticipation I can't stand.

 Well, I feel sure that the genius who did this

 Didn't [A']even feel a t[G']hud as he drove by

 Now I know this day must end with me alone, dear

 And I see m[A']ore than only da[G']rk on my horizon.

 Treason and infamy enter my life

 Te[G']ars out the spark that illumines the Sun

Down comes this universe tumbling down

Everything is come undone (twice)

Cut like a knife in the soil with a spade

 [G']Merge with the one light possessing the other

Scream, "Holly Murder, he's done us tonight."

Come, little sister, behold the Mother,

Come, little sister, behold ye the Mother.
