Intro
RIFF 1 - 2x's
Verse
Riff 1
I am levitating
Riff 1
Somewhere down the road
Riff 2
With a price on my head
Riff 1
And the shadow of a black crow
Riff 1
He's been on my tail
Riff 1
For close to three days
Riff 2
Just a little souvenir
Riff 3
Of my wicked ways
Chorus
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father forgive me what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
RIFF 4
From the shadow of a black crow
Verse
Riff 1
I've got a box of reds
Riff 1
And a bottle of the blues
Riff 2
Comes a time in your life
Riff 1
Honey you've gotta choose
Riff 1
My belly's on fire
Riff 1
From the acid of the truth
Riff 2
All the untold lies
Riff 3
Of my misspent youth
Chorus
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father forgive me what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
From the shadow of a black crow
Break
It's pretty when you're young
Just a pity when you're old, yeah
Am I running away
Em RIFF 4
Or am I closer to home
Verse
Riff 1
The lines and the signs
Riff 1
The miles go by
Riff 2
No one ever bothered
Riff 1
To even ask me why
Riff 1
partial)
So I am disappearing
Riff 1
Into this road
Riff 2
With a six pack of sorrow
Riff 3
And the shadow of a black crow
Chorus
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father forgive me what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
Chorus
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father forgive me what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
From the shadow of a black crow
