The Black Angel's Death Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Myriad choice of his fate
Set them[Dm]selves out upon a [C]plate
for him to [D]choose
What had he to [C]lose?
Not a [C]ghost bloodied country
all [Dm]covered with [C]sleep
Where the Black [Dm]Angel did [C]weep,
not an [Dm]old city [C]street in the [D]east
Gone to [C]choose[C]

[Verse 2]
And [C]wandering's brother
walked [Dm]on through the ni[C]ght
With his [Dm]hair in his [C]face
on a [Dm]long splintered [C]cut from the [D]knife
Of G[C]T[C]
The [C]rally man's patter
ran [Dm]on through the d[C]awn
Until [Dm]we said, "So l[C]ong" to his sk[D]ull
Shrill [C]yell
Shining [C]brightly red-rimmed
and red[Dm]lined with the [C]time
In[Dm]fused with the [C]choice of the [Dm]mind
on ice [C]skates scraping [D]chunks
From the [C]bells[C]
(tssh[Dm]h)[D][C][C]

[Verse 3]
Cut [C]mouth bleeding razors, for[Dm]getting the [C]pain
Anti[Dm]septic re[C]mains cool, good [D]buy
So you [C]fly to the [Dm]cozy brown [C]snow of the [D]east
Gonna [C]choose, choose again
[C](tsshh)[C]

[Verse 4]
Sacri[C]ficials remain make it [Dm]hard to for[C]get
Where you [Dm]come from,
the [C]stools of your [Dm]eyes serve to [C]realize [D]fame
Choose a[C]gain
And [C]Rovermans' refrain
of the [Dm]sacrilege re[C]cluse
For the [Dm]loss of a [C]horse
With the [Dm]bowels and a [C]tail of a [D]rat
Come a[C]gain, choose to go
[C](tsshh)[C]

[Verse 5]
And if E[C]piphany's terror
re[Dm]duced you to [C]shame
Have your [Dm]head bobbed and [C]weaved
Choose a [D]side to be [C]on
And if the [C]stone glances off,
split di[Dm]dactics in [C]two
Leave the [Dm]color of the [C]mouse trails,
don't [Dm]scream, try bet[C]ween If you [D]choose
If you [C]choose, try to [Dm]lose
For the [C]loss of remain come and [Dm]start
Start the [C]game
I-che-che
Che-che- [Dm]I
Che-che- [C]che
Ka-tah- [Dm]ko
Choose to [C]choose
Choose to [Dm]choose
Choose to [C]go (tsshh)
