Em6 Emb6
So confident
Em I'll go his way Em7 Em6 Whistle to him Emb6 D Dsus4 D and the passing time G A My death waits like G C a Bible truth F Am Am/G at the funeral of my youth F oh we drank for that G and the passing time G#m F# My death waits like G#m a witched night F# G#m as surely as our love is bright F# B Let's not think about the passing time Em D C But whatever lies behind the door B there is nothing much to do Em D C C/B Angel or Devil, I don't care Am Am/G B For in front of that door there is you
Bb C Gm
Gm
My death waits likea beggar blind
who sees the world through an unlit mind
F throw him a dime for the passing time Bb C Bb My death waits there between your thighs Ab Cm Your cold fingers will close my eyes Ab Let's think of that Bb And the passing time Bm A My death waits Bm to allow my friend A a few good times Bm before it ends A so let's drink to that F# and the passing time G F Eb but whatever lies behind the door D G there is nothing much to do F Eb Angel or Devil, I don't care
for in front of that door
D there is you Gm My death waits there
among the leaves
in magician's mysterious sleeves
rabbits and dogs
F and the passing time Bb C My death waits there Bb among the flowers Ab Cm where the blackest shadow cowers Ab Bb Let's pick lilacs for the passing time Bm A My death waits there Bm in a double bed A sails of oblivion Bm at my head A so pull up your seats against F# the passing time Gm F Eb But whatever lies behind the door D Gm there is nothing much to do F Angel or Devil Eb I don't care
for in front of that door.......
there is
