Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Rings Of Saturn (Guitar)

C               G      F
Upside down and inside out

Am
You're like a funnel-web, like a black fly on the

C                      G        F
Ceiling. Skinny, white haunches high in the

Am
Sky and a black oily gash crawling backwards

C                    G              F 
Across the carpet to smash all over everything

Am
Wet, black fur against the sun going down

G
Over the shops and the cars and the crowds in the town

C               G       F 
And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is

Am
Born to be

C                        G            F          Am
Now this is what she does and this is what she is

C                               G                    F
And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to

Am
Be. This is what she does 

G                       G   F   Am
And this is what she is

C                    G            F
Her eyes that look at me through a rainy hair

Am
Two round holes where the air buckles and rushes

C           G                F
In her body, moon blue, was a jellyfish

Am
And I'm breathing deep and I'm there and I'm also 

C                       G            F
Not there. And spurting ink over the sheets but 

Am
She remains, completely unexplained

C
Or maybe I'm just too tongue-tied to drink it up and 

G                               F
Swallow back the pain. I thought slavery had 

Am
been abolished. How come it's gone and reared its ugly head again?

C   G                  F
And this is the moment, this is 

Am
Exactly what she is born to be

C                     G           F             
And this is what she does and this is what she 

Am
Is.

C                      G         F
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is 

Am
Born to be. This is what she 

C                      G     F   Am
Is and this is what she does

C                                           G
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be

F                                                Am
And this is what she does and this is what she is

C                                           G
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be

F                                                Am 
And this is what she does and this is what she is

C                                 G       F
And now she's jumping up with her leaping brain

Am
Stepping over heaps of sleeping children

     C                          G            F
Disappearing and further up and spinning out again

Am
Up and further up she goes, up and out of the bed

C                         G            F
Up and out of the bed and down the hall where she 

Am 
Stops for moment and turns and says "Are you still here?"

C                    G     F
And then reaches high and dangles 

    Am
Herself like a child's dream from the rings of

C      G  F  Am
Saturn
