Half Man Half Biscuit – Lark Descending (Guitar)

Dm
 My hands are stained with thistle milk

F
 And I can see what a fool I’ve been.

   Dm
My hands are stained with thistle milk

    Dm
The fire that burned inside of me

F
 Has sank rapidly into vacancy and chill

    Dm
And now my hours of happiness

    F
Are darkened by the thought they are passing towards nothing.

A                  E

 Signing in to my chalet as

 The pay’s better and I’d know some hard blokes

F               C
 And I wouldn’t have to pretend

F                     C               F Bb C
 That I know what ‘rhetorical’ means.
