INTRO: RIFF 1 - 2x''s
VERSE:
RIFF 1
I am levitating
RIFF 1
Somewhere down the road
RIFF 2
With a price on my head
RIFF 1
And the shadow of a black crow
RIFF 1
He''s been on my tail
RIFF 1
For close to three days
RIFF 2
Just a little souvenir
RIFF 3
Of my wicked ways
CHORUS:
G A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
D Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don''t know
Em F#7
The scratch marks on my soul
Bm G RIFF 4
From the shadow of a black crow
VERSE:
RIFF 1
I''ve got a box of reds
RIFF 1
And a bottle of the blues
RIFF 2
Comes a time in your life
RIFF 1
Honey you''ve gotta choose
RIFF 1
My belly''s on fire
RIFF 1
From the acid of the truth
RIFF 2
All the untold lies
RIFF 3
Of my misspent youth
CHORUS:
G A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
D Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don''t know
Em F#7
The scratch marks on my soul
Bm G
From the shadow of a black crow
BREAK:
G Bm
It''s pretty when you''re young
G Bm
Just a pity when you''re old, yeah
G Bm
Am I running away
G E RIFF 4
Or am I closer to home
VERSE:
RIFF 1
The lines and the signs
RIFF 1
The miles go by
RIFF 2
No one ever bothered
RIFF 1
To even ask me why
RIFF 1 (partial)
So I am disappearing
RIFF 1
Into this road
RIFF 2
With a six pack of sorrow
RIFF 3
And the shadow of a black crow
CHORUS:
G A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
D Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don''t know
Em F#7
The scratch marks on my soul
CHORUS:
G A
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
D Bm
Father forgive me what my mother don''t know
Em F#
The scratch marks on my soul
Bm
From the shadow of a black crow
