The Drowning Man Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Dm Em A♯

Riff 1

 [Dm, Em, A♯]

 She Dmstands twelve feet Emabove the flood

 She A♯stares

Alone

Across the water

 The lDmoneliness grows and Emslowly

 Fills her A♯frozen body

Sliding downwards

Riff 2

 [G, F♯, A♯]

GOne by one her F♯senses die

 The A♯memories fade

And leave her eyes

 Still sGeeing worlds that F♯never were

  A♯ Repeat Riff 1: [Dm, Em, A♯] x2

And one by one the bright birds leave her ...

  Repeat Riff 2: [G, F♯, A♯] x 2

DmStarting at the vEmiolent sound

 She tA♯ries to turn

But final

Noiseless

DmSlips and strikes her Emsoft dark head

 The A♯water bows

Receives her

 And dGrowns her at its F♯ease A♯

 DGrowns her at its F♯ease A♯

 I Dmwould have left the Emworld all bleeding

A♯Could I only help you love

 The Dmfleeting shapes so Emmany years aA♯go

So young and beautiful and brave

GEverything was tF♯rue

 It couldn't A♯be a story

 I wGish it was all tF♯rue

 I wish it cA♯ouldn't be a story

 The Dmwords all left me

EmLifeless

Hoping

A♯Breathing like the drowning man

 Oh FDmushia Em

You leave me

A♯Breathing like the drowning man G F♯ A♯

A♯Breathing like the drowning man G F♯ A♯

Repeat Riff 1,and 2 two times alternately to the end...
