The Drowning - Ver 2

Am Dm Am Carry me down to the water, Oh Am Dm E Carry me down to the sea Am Dm Am Dowse my skirts in the water, Oh Am E Am And cut the red sun from me Am Dm Am Wrap me in flaxen and wool, Oh Am Dm E Wrap me up in white Am Dm Am Take me down to the water, Oh Am E Am When the day has bled to night Am Dm Am Give me my sickle and broom, Oh Am Dm Am And tie my hands to the stake Am Dm Am Sally me down to the river, Oh Am E Am And take what you're eager to take Am G Am Burn me and beat me and hold back my arms Am Dm E Still the sun hides its face from me Am G F E And when the summer is gone, Oh Am E Am I'll come flying back out of the sea Am G Am Drown me down in the cold tide, Oh Am Dm E Hold back my hair from the waves Am G F E And when I breathe my last, Oh Am E Am Bless my bones in their greenwater grave Verse 1 reprise Am Dm Am Carry me down to the water, Oh Am Dm E Carry me down to the sea Am Dm Am Dowse my skirts in the water, Oh Am E Am And cut the red sun from me Am Dm Am Carry me down to the water, Oh Am Dm E Carry me down to the sea Am Dm Am Dowse my skirts in the water, Oh Am E Am And cut the red sun from me Am E Am I say cut the red sun from me. Children! Cut the red sun… from… me.
