your own guitar...i think. if you want to make corrections then email me: visceral_viscous@hotmail.com.
Am C G Dm
Mes amis, we are restless things
Am C G Dm
Little seaweed are swaddling
Am C
And you call upon the dusk
G Dm
Of the musk of the squid
Am C G
Shot full of ink, until you sink
Dm
Into your crib
F Am
Show me the house
C
Upon the hill
Am
Where you were living
F Am
Fireplace was stoked
C
The cupboard stocked
Am
Full of provision
F Am
And the grandfather clock
C
Upon the wall
Am
Told us the time
F Am
And then came a sound
C
Love had to drown
Am
Love, were you dying?
C G C
Oh was the fire moved away
Am G F
Fire moved away son?
C G C
Why whould you say
Am Dm F
I was the last one?
F for a few measures

Am C G Dm
Scrub your knee, there's only skin
Am C G Dm
Makes a sound of violins
Am C
And you call upon the dusk
G Dm
Of the musk of the squid
Am C G
Shot full of ink until you sink
Dm
Into your crib
F Am
Show me the house
C
Upon the hill
Am
Where you were living
F Am
Fireplace was stoked
C
The cupboard stocked
Am
Full of provisions
F Am
And the grandfather clock
C
Upon the wall
Am
Told us the time
F Am
And then came a sound
C
Love had to count
Am
On you dying
C G C
Oh was the fire moved away?
Am G F
Fire, it moves away, son
C G C
Oh, why would you say
Am Dm F
I was the last one?
F for a few measures
Am C G Dm
All my bones they are gone, gone, gone
Am C G Dm
All my bones they are gone, gone, gone
Am C G Dm
All my bones they are gone, gone, gone
