[Verse 1]
[Em]Don'[Asus2]t cry my l[Em]ove[Asus2][Em]

A crashing [Em]sky a rolling

I [Em]cannot [G]bear to see
[D][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Asus2]
She [Em]lay [G]under the midnight
[Am]moon[Em][Asus2]
Her [Em]restless [Asus2]body stir[Em]ring
[D][Em][Asus2]
[Em]Un t[Asus2]il the mag[Am]ic[G]
morning [Em]hour[Asus2]
[Em]Like poison it succumbs her[D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
[Asus2]Her baby skin[Em] her
[Asus4]old black dress[Em]
[Asus2]Her hair it t[Em]wists round her[G]
[Em]necklace[Asus2][Em]
Constricts and chokes like
[G]ruth[Em]less vines
[Asus2]To sleep she[Em] overtakes[G] her?[D]

[Em][Asus2]
[Em]A mother shepherds [Asus2]her young
[Am]bird[Asus2] s[Em]
[Asus2]She fills the[Em]ir mou[Am]ths and[Em]
warms their souls
[Esus4]Till they[Em] are strong and good
to [Esus4]fly[Em][Asus2]
[Em]Away from her [D]alone she'll die
[Em]

[Verse 7]
Cradle on quiet old oak [Esus4]limbs
[Em]As heaven blue h[Am]er li[D]ght fa[Em]ils
[Asus2]A breath [Em]of soot
into her [Am]lungs
[Em]A life, a journey[Asus2]s end in [D]one[Em]
[Asus2][Am]

[Esus4]It resona[Em]tes insid[Asus2]e my soul[Em][D][Em]
It haunts me in my waking [Esus4]dream[Em]
I cannot bear to [D]hear it
[Em]

[Verse 9]
Don't [Em]play those violins
[Esus4]no more[Em]
Their melancholic [Em]over[Em]tones
They echo off the floor [Em]an d w[Em]alls

[Outro 1]
I cannot bear to hear them
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
