Eliza Gilkyson – Her Melancholy Muse (Guitar)

                     G               F
In the darkest hour, midnight blues

                  C
The shadow of her soul will choose

                       G             F
She hears the call and can't refuse

                C
Her melancholy muse

                     G             F
Her feather bed lies on the ground

                      C
Where hours before he laid her down

                        G           F
Like birds of pray they try to lose

                C   F C 
Her melancholy muse

    F                C
His hair was tangled in her hands

     G                     F     C      F
They fell and flew through borderlands

                     C
And what was her and what was him

    G   
Was lost under the skin

    F                   C             
The moon shines down on waters deep

    G                  F       C      F
She prays for love her soul to keep

                   C
And as the glowing ember dies

  G      
A whisper of smoke will rise

  C                  G            
A nighthawk's on the wing tonight

    F                  C
She sings for him, she sings the blues

                      G           F
She sings for love to win or lose

                C      G    F
Her melancholy muse

                C
