lyrics
THREE DEMONS
Bm D G (2x)
Bm G (at neck) F#
Three demons came to me in darkness
G (3fret)
Their own and maybe mine
Bm G (at neck) F#
Sanguine about my prospects
G
said my head looked ripe
(instrumental) Bm –D –G (2x)
Bm G F#
I was beset by dreams of Everything
G
darkness could Offer me
Bm G
You whispered in my ear
F#
I felt the heat
G
the dampness of your breath
E F#m
I’m gonna cry
G F#m E
I’m gonna tear us apart
E F#m
Cause you’ve set my eye
G
On every little thing
That I’ve ever desired
Bm D G (2x)
Bm G F#
Dark deeds must be done with a venegeance
G
Keep’s conscience from creeping in
Bm G F#
One must keep the eyes affixed
G
On the end through the means
E F#m
you’re gonna cry
G F#m E
I’m gonna tear you apart
E F#m
Cause I’ve lost my mind
G
To every beautiful thing
I was ever denied…
A G
Is that the knife to do the deed?
A G
Dangling in front of me?
A
If this all comes apart…
F#m F E
Will you hold it steady…for me?
Bm G (at neck) F#
They came again last night In darkness
G
Said they wanted me
Bm G (at neck) F#
Each had a black bouquet Of roses
G
There eyes were like milk…
E F#m
we’re gonna cry
G F#m E
Life’s gonna tear us apart
E F#m
Til it’s Better to die
G
Than dream every night of those
We put to their ease…
A G
Is that the knife to do the deed?
A G
Dangling in front of me?
A
If this all comes apart…
F#m F E
Will you hold it steady…for me?
