Requiem

         Bm       E       A
And the black-eyed mother sun 
     C#m                     F#m
scorched the butterfly at play
(lick3)      D     Bm       E    
(lick4a)
--- velvet veined. I saw it burn.
C         Am                G   
(lick5) F          Fsus2      Dm    
  C
  With a wintry storm-blown sigh,   
     a silver cloud blew right on 
by.
                   G   Em       D   
          G G/F# Em (lick1)
And, taking in the morning, I sang 
--- O Requiem.

I looked aside and walked away ---  
            along the Strand.
      Bm     E      A           
But I didn't say a word, as the 
C#m              F#m

--- close    behind   the taxi 
stand.
C                    Am             
     G      (lick5)
 Saw her face in the tear-drop black
 cab window.
F                  Fsus2   Dm   
 Fading into the traffic; 
      C
watched her go.
                  G   Em       
And taking in the morning, heard 
     C   D                  G
myself singing --- O Requiem.
G   G/F# Em     (lick1)
Here I go again. It's the same old 
story.
