Rake

[Intro] Dm  F7M  G  Dm

[Primera Parte]

Dm                 F7M
Well, I used to wake and run with 
the moon
G                Dm
I lived like a rake and a young man
Dm             F7M
I covered my lovers with flowers and
 wounds
G                  Dm
My laughter the devil would frighten
F7M          G     C      Dm
The sun she would come and beat me 
back down
C          G         Dm
But every cruel day had it's 
nightfall
F7M         G        C      Dm
I'd welcome the stars with wine and 
guitars
C       G       Dm
Full of fire and forgetful
Dm                 F7M
Well, my body was sharp, the dark 
air clean
G              Dm
And outrage my joyful companion

Dm               F7M
And whisperin' women how sweet did 
they seem
G              Dm
Kneelin' for me to command them
F7M           G       C     Dm
And time was like water but I was 
the sea
C       G           Dm
I wouldn't have noticed it passin'
F7M          G       C        
Except for the turnin' of night into
Dm
 day
C             G       Dm
And the turnin' of day into cursin'
Dm             F7M
They look at me now, don't think I 
don't know
G               Dm
What all your eyes are sayin'
Dm                 F7M
Does he want us to believe these 
ravings and lies?
G                             Dm
They're just tricks that his brains 
been playin'
F7M       G    C       Dm
A lover of women he can't hardly 
stand
  C      G          Dm
He trembles, he's bent and he's 
broken
F7M          G        C      Dm
I've fallen it's true but I say to 
you
C        G            Dm
"Hold your tongues until after I've 
spoken"
Dm                      F7M
I was takin' by pride in the 
pleasure I'd known
    G             Dm
I laughed and said I'd be forgiven
Dm                      F7M
But my laughter turned around, eyes 
blazing and
        G        Dm
Said, "friend, we're holdin' a 
wedding"
F7M       G        C       Dm
I buried my face but it spoke once 
again
C        G        Dm
Night to the day we're a bindin'
F7M     G         C         Dm
And now the dark air is like fire on
 my skin
C       G        Dm
And even the moonlight is blinding
F7M        G      C         Dm
Now the dark air's like fire on my 
skin
C       G        Dm
And even the moonlight is blinding
