Chords

#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------## From: "CHOOSE YOUR OWN CTHONIAN #27 : FEEDING FRENZY" <[email protected]> by the Counting Crows contributed by Ryan Houlette [email protected] Write me if you use this. Note: the timing of the words to the chord changes is approximate, because the singer uses very elastic phrasing. This is how I do it. [verse]
C                      F
When I think of heaven

Am         F                 C
Deliver me in a black-winged bird

F          Am     F           C               F
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers

Am            F              C                 F
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God

                  Am           F
In the belly of a black-winged bird.

Am    F
Don't try to feed me

Am        F
I've been here before

    C           D
And I deserve a little more
[chorus]
F Am    C       D              F
I belong in the service of the Queen

F Am    C   D               F
I belong anywhere but in between

F          Am     C               D
She's been crying and I've been thinking

F     Am     C         D
And I am the Rain King
[verse]
D          C           F            Am   F
And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?

C          F
I can't go outside

             Am                F
I'm scared I might not make it home

    C           F
I'm alive, I'm alive

     Am           F
But I'm sinking in

           C                 F
If there's anyone at home at your place, darling

Am                      F
Why don't you invite me in?

Am    F
Don't try to bleed me

Am        F
I've been there before

    C           D
And I deserve a little more
[chorus]
F Am    C       D              F
I belong in the service of the Queen

F Am    C    D              F
I belong anywhere but in between

F          Am    C              D
She's been lying and I've been sinking

F     Am     C         D
And I am the Rain King
[bridge]
Am          C                F
Hey, I only want the same as anyone

Am           C   F   Am
Henderson is waiting for the sun

                   C         F
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends

Am            C               F
After all the dreaming I come home again
repeat C F Am F 2x here [verse]
C               F
When I think of heaven

Am         F                 C
Deliver me in a black-winged bird

F          Am
I think of dying

F                C                  F
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather

Render up my body into the burning heart of God

F     Am     C          D
And I am the Rain King
