Verse:
E
I'm circling around you, we're headed for the starlight in noon time.
(Riff) (First Bar)
E
Our love will spiral there, then she'll remove and lay it there around me.
(Riff) (Second Bar)
C#m
Sometimes the starlight, sometimes the starlight disappears.
(Riff) (First Bar)
C#m D G
When we got to cross the river exausted, and think I had thought...
Oh I know that you wanted to.
(Riff) (Second bar)
Chorus:
Am Dm C
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.
Am Dm C
Something here comes back underneath the ground.
(Riff)
Verse:
E
One more low is coming, one more low is coming to take you.
(Riff) (First bar)
E
To gather up his favorite, he's gathering his favorite milkmaid.
(Riff) (Second bar)
C#m (Riff 2)
Don't let him take you, don't let him take you with him.
(Riff) (First bar)
C#m D G
Back when you're belonging could be innocent with a lovely sound.
And all the lovely sound.
(Riff) (Second bar)
Chorus:
Am Dm C
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.
Am Dm C
Something here comes back underneath the ground.
Am Dm C
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.
Am Dm C
Something here comes back underneath the ground.
Outro:
Gm (Riff 3)
Gm
Come back here, her spiral hair.
Note: The verse is carried mostly by that sustaining organ-like
sound, and you'll notice it doesn't translate very well onto the
guitar, (at least not the way I transcribed it). So, I just listed
power chords. I'm sure you'll figure something out... or, play
it on an organ. It sounds nice.
