Chords

N. Cave Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus [Intro] G
G
Stay by me

G
Stay by me

Em
You are the one

D             G
My only true
[Verse]
G
The butcher bird makes its noise and it asks you to agree

Em                                     D
With its brutal nesting habits and its pointless savagery

G
Now the nightingale it sings to you and raises up the ante

Em                                      D
I put one hand on your round ripe heart and the other down your panties
[Chorus]
G
Everything is falling dear, everything is wrong

Em
It's just history repeating itself

D                       G
And babe you turn me on

G
Like a light bulb, babe

       Em    D
Like a song
[Verse]
G
You race naked thru the wilderness, you torment the birds and the bees

Em                                D
You leapt into the abyss but find it only goes up to your knees

G
I move stealthily from tree to tree, I shadow you for hours

Em                            D
I make like I'm a little deer grazing on the flowers
[Chorus]
G
Everything is collapsing, dear, all moral sense is gone

Em
It's just history repeating itself 

D                     G
And babe you turn me on

G
Like an idea, babe

        Em      D
Like an atom bomb
[Verse]
G
We stand awed inside a clearing, we do not make a sound

Em                                D
The crimson snow falls all about, carpeting the ground
[Chorus]
G
Everything is falling, dear, all rhyme and reason gone

Em
It's just history repeating itself 

D                     G
And babe you turn me on

G
Like an idea, babe

        Em      D
Like an atom bomb
