Transcribed by Uri Klar (Shevy22@yahoo.com)
Probably the best songs on the album. Very moving… I transcribed in chord form so for
of you who'd like to play it on the piano it shouldn't be hard to invert it.
A few notes:
Eb7=Should be Played without the 5th note.
Gm=Should be played with the 5th note lowered by a tone. Meaning played with a C note
of a D (very crutial)…

Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
Like first verse:
The papers around me are piling and twisting regina the paper back mummy
what then.
I'm taking the knife to the books that I own and chopping and chopping and boiling soup
stone.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
