INTRO: RIFF 1 - 2x's
VERSE:
RIFF 1
I am levitating
RIFF 1
Somewhere down the road
RIFF 2
With a price on my head
RIFF 1
And the shadow of a black crow
RIFF 1
He's been on my tail
RIFF 1
For close to three days
RIFF 2
Just a little souvenir
RIFF 3
Of my wicked ways
CHORUS:
I would r[Em]ather die fast than to e[A]ver live slow
F[D]ather forgive me what my m[Bm]other don't know
The sc[Em]ratch marks on my s[A]oul
Bm Em RIFF 4
From the shadow of a black crow
VERSE:
RIFF 1
I've got a box of reds
RIFF 1
And a bottle of the blues
RIFF 2
Comes a time in your life
RIFF 1
Honey you've gotta choose
RIFF 1
My belly's on fire
RIFF 1
From the acid of the truth
RIFF 2
All the untold lies
RIFF 3
Of my misspent youth
CHORUS:
I would r[Em]ather die fast than to e[A]ver live slow
F[D]ather forgive me what my m[Bm]other don't know
The sc[Em]ratch marks on my s[A]oul
From the sh[Bm]adow of a black c[Em]row
BREAK:
[Bm] It's pretty when you're young
[Em] Just a pity when you're old, yeah
[Bm] Am I running away
Em RIFF 4
Or am I closer to home
VERSE:
RIFF 1
The lines and the signs
RIFF 1
The miles go by
RIFF 2
No one ever bothered
RIFF 1
To even ask me why
RIFF 1 (partial)
So I am disappearing
RIFF 1
Into this road
RIFF 2
With a six pack of sorrow
RIFF 3
And the shadow of a black crow
CHORUS:
I would r[Em]ather die fast than to e[A]ver live slow
F[D]ather forgive me what my m[Bm]other don't know
The sc[Em]ratch marks on my s[A]oul
CHORUS:
I would r[Em]ather die fast than to e[A]ver live slow
F[D]ather forgive me what my m[Bm]other don't know
The sc[Em]ratch marks on my s[A]oul
From the sh[Bm]adow of a black c[Em]row
