Lovesong Of The Buzzard Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Bb F x 2

A♯ In the failing light of the afternoon F

A♯ Lucy in the shade of the dogwood blooms F

A♯ Yesterday the solace of a poison fish F

A♯ Tomorrow I'll be kissing on her blood red lips C

No one is the saviour they would like to be

The lovesong of the buzzard in the dogwood tree

With a train of horses laughing through the traffic line

And the cradle's unimaginative sense of time

Springtime and the promise of an open fist

A tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist

Lucy tells me jokingly to wipe her brow

With a pocket map to heaven and the sun goes down
