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
