Nine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Night a nine of diamonds
A woman lay and cries
[Csus2]At the sister[D] of Mercy[G]
On a Sabbath [D]day
Night a nine of diamonds
As revelers commence
[C]To shiver [Csus2]as she bore[G]
In a babe, a ra[D]diance

[Verse 2]
[D]Brave in constant motion
Wherein perfection brews
[C]Darkness as his [G]brother
Mischief as his [D]moon
Summoning beneath
With his gypsy moves
[C]Yearning as the [G]foal
Shy and beauti[D]ful

[Verse 3]
[D]Every card he drew
Had a different face
[C]Lingering [G]and lost
Unholy holy [D]ghosts
I tend to play them all
[Am]He spoke with confid[D]ence
An[Am]other [D]kind of strange
To [Am]shift in [C]loneli[D]ness

[Verse 4]
[D]He sought not for himself
The empire he would find
[C]Save the golden [G]womb
He enter [D]in his mind

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]
[C][D][G][D][Am][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]We will die a littler
The rogues whistling
[C]Nine blue-eyed sailors
[D]sail[G] ors
Tip their caps to [D]him
As he passes through them
More vagabond than king
[C]With diamonds on his [G]sleeves
[G]Like a harle[D]quin
