[Intro]
Am
"Your legs walked your heart high

           Am              G              Fmaj7
Your whole body, sprawling out, made your view wide"
[Verse 1]
         C            Dm              Am
I'm on a boulder over alpine tops I'm peeking

  Am                     G            Fmaj7
I watched you across the water in the evening
(I watched you from above)
  Am             G                    Fmaj7
Into my eye your grays and blues were blown
(To your eyes I'm blown)
    Am                G            Fmaj7
The something that I held onto is leaving

    Am              G              Fmaj7
The shape to what I saw has slowly grown
[Interlude]
                      Fmaj7
You're higher on your hill

                             G
So your Big Black Cloud will come

                             Am
So your Big Black Cloud will come

                     G
And press you to the ground

                        Fmaj7
The air will leave your chest

                              G
You'll fade from where you're found

                              Am
When you find you're standing still

                        G
And your fingers all go numb

                   Fmaj7
Get higher on your hill

                             G
So your Big Black Cloud will come

                             Am
So your Big Black Cloud will come

                     G
And press you to the ground

                        Fmaj7
The air will leave your chest

                              G
You'll fade from where you're found

                             Am
When you're finally standing still

                        G
And your fingers all go numb

                   Fmaj7
Get higher on your hill

                             G
So your Big Black Cloud will come
So your Big Black Cloud will [Verse 2]
Gm
Rah! Do you see what happens?

Gm
Do you see what happens?!

Gm
When the Big Black Death
N.C. Breathes on you with his breath
Gm
I'm wild and woolly
N.C. A bloating bully
Gm
I'll strike you down and then
N.C. I'll strike you down again N.C. Do you see what happens? (What?) N.C. Do you see what happens? (What?!) N.C. When I peel away your bark N.C. And stain your blue sky dark Gm [Verse 3]
Gm
Your breath I take to live

Gm
Your Death I ache to give

Gm
So take me in and crumble
N.C. Be smothered in my rumble!
Gm
My flash of thunder booms

Gm
Your lack of wonder looms

Gm
I press you to the ground
N.C. You'll fade from where you're found Gm [Instrumental] Cmaj7 Em Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Em Fmaj7 [Outro]
             Cmaj7
The way they share

     Em               Fmaj7
(The flesh we tear so innocent of memory)

     Cmaj7    Em Fmaj7
They feast
(we feast)
     Dm          Em
They invite each bite
(We invite each bite)
     Fmaj7
Into flight
(Into our flight)
      Dm         Em
Since blood, now wind
(We give our blood to you)
    Fmaj7         G         Em
And feathers from skin begin
(And feathers from skin begin)
Em
I am the twilight upon the porch

Em
A leaf falls into your lap

Em
I am the candle falling

Em
Your hands gripping the tablecloth

Fmaj7    Dm                Em
Your eyes only three years old

Fmaj7        Em    Dm
The way they share

Dm
The memory you did wear

Fmaj7        Em   Dm
And now your song

Dm             Em
Is inside them
[Coda] Em
