|:B/D# | |Esus2 | :| (x 2)
|Absus4/Eb |Gbsus2 |Db/F | ||
|B/D# | |
Out of woman come the man, spend the
|Esus2 | |
rest of his life getting back where he can
|B/D# | |Esus2 | |
As a bow, so a dove, as below, so a-bove
|Absus4/Eb |
From the black hole,
|Gbsus2 |
come the tadpole
|Db/F | ||
With the dark soul in coal she burn, she
|B/D# | |
burn; as I drove into the sun,
|Esus2 | |
Didn't dare look where I had begun
|B/D# | |
Lost among echoes of things not there,
|Esus2 | |
Watching the sound forming shapes in the air
|Absus4/Eb |
From the white star,
|Gbsus2 |
come the bright scar
|Db/F | |G | ||
Our amoeba, my little liebe schon_____
