Rhymes of Goodbye Scott Walker
from the album Scott 4 (1969)
by Scott Walker
(D-tuning)
Intro:
[D] [F#m] [C] [D]
Verse I:
[D]I've come far from [F#m]chains, from [E]metal and [B]stone
[A]From makeshift designs, I'm [E]seeking a [B]star
[D]To grab for the [F#m]truth, to [E]keep myself [B]one
[A]I turn and it's gone gone, you [E]smile and it's [B]born
Chorus I:
The [D]rhymes of a [A]woman, a [G]river that never ends
The [D]Rhymes of dime[A]nsion, surr[G]ounds us with fire and friends
And [F#m]roaring through d[Bm]arkness, the [G]night children [F#m]fly
[D]I still hear them [A]singing the [G]rhymes of goo[C]dbye[D]
Verse II:
[D]"There's nothing withi[F#m]n, but within",[E] says a [B]voice
[A]"That's still my empire, and I[E]'ve got a ch[B]oice"
It's [D]heedless of [F#m]death, it's [E]still got a [B]fire
[A]And I'll keep it burning, with [E]hands of de[B]sire
[D]The bells of our [F#m]senses can c[E]ost us our [B]pride
[A]Can toll out the boundaries that [E]level our [B]lives
[D]Can slash like the [F#m]sunlight [E]through shadows and [B]cracks
[A]Our nakedness calling, our [E]nakedness [B]back
Chorus II:
[D]The rhyme of our [A]passions, find [G]beauty in loving love
[D]The rhyme of our [A]madness, burns [G]cities and push and shoves
And [F#m]roaring through d[Bm]arkness, the [G]night children [F#m]fly
[D]I still hear them [A]singing the [G]rhymes of goo[C]dbye[D]
Outro:
[C] [D]
