His Grinning Skull Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][Am][F]
[C][Am][C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 1]
How can you [F]pine anymore?
It is [C]beautiful[Am][F]
And for all
Un[C]avoidable[Am][F]
So these are his [C]bones[Am][F]
And his grin[C]ning [Am]skull[F]
So now he is [C]home[Am][F]
To the bluebottles
[C]He [Am]who w[F]as your bull[G]
And made the shadows [F]run
And I [C]understand[Am][F]
In all things he was [C]quite
the [Am]man[C][Am][F]
But now perched on his [C]skull[Am][F]
He now wears cuck[C]old's [Am]horns[F]
And they're growing [C]full[Am][F]
Pushing [C]through [Am]the soil[F][Dm][F]
Pools gathering round my [G]knees
Temptation leers at me from
every [Dm]door[F][Dm][G]
So these are his [F]bones[C][Am]
[F]Why won't you leave them
[C]alone?[Am][F][Dm][F][Dm]
[F]Worms crowding her [G]feet
Trying to pull me back [F]to
[Dm]their holes[F][Dm][G]
Tap- tapping in the [F]room [G]below
Nothing more than dead [F]piles of bones
[G]Saying:
'I'll eat this young whelp's
[F]heart [G]I will'
'I'll eat this young whelp's
[F]heart [G]I will'
'I'll eat this young [F]whelp's[Dm][Am]
[Dm]hear[Am]t'[Dm][Am][Dm]
HEAVE- [Am]HO[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm]HEAVE- [Am]HO[Dm][Am]
With [Dm]fists for spades we [Am]raid his grave
With [Dm]big black boots we
[F]stomp [Am]the roots
With [Dm]fists for spades we [Am]raid his grave
With [Dm]big black boots we stomp [Am]the roots
[Dm]And HEAVE- H[Am]O
[Dm]HEAVE- [Am]HO
[Dm]HEAVE- [Am]HO
HEAVE- HO
[Dm]HEAVE- [Am]HO
[Dm]Heave- [Am]ho[Dm]
