Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Sun Forest (Guitar)

F#m                                      D
I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies and the fireflies

                                       F#m
And the burning horses and the €…flaming trees

                        D
As a spiral of children climb up to the sun

                          F#m
Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me

                               E
As the past pulls away and the future begins

                     Bm                        D
I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in

                         E
Like a wave, like a wave

                                      F#m
And the past, with its savage undertow,  lets go

D                       E
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone

F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun

D                       E
To the sun, to the sun, and on each golden rung

F#m                                       D E F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun

                           D
And a man called Jesus, He promised He would leave us

                                    F#m
With a word that would light up the night, oh, the night

                        D
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one

                    F#m
And it isn't any fun, no, it isn't any fun

                    E
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be

                    Bm
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief

D                                         E
And everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree

                      F#m
And everybody hanging from a tree

D                       E
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone

F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun

D                       E
To the sun, to the sun, taking everyone

F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun

                      D
There is nothing more valuable than beauty, they say

                                         F#m
There is nothing more valuable than love

                                             D
And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees

                                            F#m
And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies

                                  E
And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes, so beautiful

         Bm                           D E F#m
Oh, your bright green eyes, so beautiful
