Verse I
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
The black figure of my body above your window as youre dreaming
[Am]I came to [C]wake you and take you up [F]north[Am] [G]
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
The yard was wet, the heavens forget the way things are seeming
[Am]For us who must [C]stumble in yards dark as [F]horses
[Am] [F] [Am] [G] [G7]
Am C Famj7 Dm (riff)
Your dream went like this, John the Bap-tist came back vapor veiled
[Am]With grand expec-[C]tations for what he had [F]started[Am] [G]
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
And you couldnt res-ist, you gave him the gist about how things failed
[Am]And how all but [G]one fire-heart had [F]departed
Chorus
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/frontier_ruckus/the_blood_tab.html )
And that [Em]you were [F]her, and [Am]you were [G]sure[G7]
That you had the [Am]Blood, that you had the [C]Blood
That all is [G]made [F]of
And that is [Dm]alright, that is [C]alright
I cannot think [Em]of a better [F]dove[G] [G7]
To carry the [Am]Blood
C Fmaj7 Dm(riff) Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
Verse II
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
The canal was bright, its innards ignite when moon stretches tight
[Am]To show the [C]cargo the floating is [F]gliding[Am] [G]
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
The edges are dark, its channeled by bark, it carries the mark
[Am]Of every [G]speckle of guilt I was [F]hiding
[Am] [F] [Am] [G] [G7]
Verse III
[Am]The bathroom does [C]taste of menstruation
Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
chasing night-musk through window screen
[Am]Like wounded doves [C]all pretty things [F]bleed[Am] [G]
[Am]Like my highway [C]dream, Judas re-[Fmaj7]deemed for the one kiss he [Dm]rode on
[Am]Our spirits ride [G]canals and never in [F]deeds
Verse IV
[Em]Deeds do [F]go, and d[Am]eeds do n[G]ot[G7]
Carry the [Am]Blood, carry the [C]Blood
That all is [G]made [F]of
Carry it [Dm]right, all through the [C]night
Till you see [Em]what we are [F]of a [G]dove [G7]
that carries the [Am]Blood
C Fmaj7 Dm(riff) Am C Fmaj7 Dm Am
