No Rest Dry the River
Song: No Rest
This is my first tab - please be gentle ;)
-------------------------
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
chord 'F#1' means 'one octave higher'
[verse 1]
I [F#]used to be a king alone
c#
Like Solomon or Rehoboam
And [F#]in the eaves the corvidae
c#
did jealous keep my picture frames
fm G# c#
and everything did oxidate in place
[verse 2 witb different ending]
But [F#]then you came, a single cell
c#
with astrolabe and carousel
and [F#]algebra and symmetry
c#
and none of this was lost on me
and [B]I [B]could [F#1]see how [B]still [B]I'd [F#1]been bef[F#]ore
If [B]I [B]don't [F#1]eat, [B]I [B]don't [F#1]sleep at a[F#]ll.
[bridge 1]
Like limbs in pro[B]cession,
like so many [dm#]birds,
stampeding like [B]oxen,
our hearts are a [dm#]herd,
[cborus 1]
c#
I loved you in the bed,
dm# c#
I loved you in the best way possible,
I loved you in the [dm#]bed,
[bridge 2]
[F#]Did you see the [Bb]light in my [B]heart?
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
Did you see the fear in my heart?
Did you see me bleeding it out?
[cborus 2 and end]
c#
I loved you in the bed,
dm# c#
I loved you in the best way possible,
I loved you in the [dm#]best way possible,[B]
dm# c#
I loved you in the best way possible,
I loved you in the [dm#]best way possible,[B]
I loved you in the bed.[F#]
