Lungs Written and Performed by the great Townes Van Zandt
I noticed that the chords in the other version posted on UG seemed to be
incorrect, though the intro was spot on. Lungs is musically very simple (the
lyrics are a different story entirely!). You'll only need Em and D.
[Verse 1]
Em Wont you lend your lungs to me D Em Mine are collapsing Em Plant my feet and bitterly D Em Breathe up the time that's passing D Em Breath I'll take and breath I'll give D Em And pray the day's not poison Em Stand among the ones that live Em D Em In lonely indecision
[Verse 2]
Em Fingers walk the darkness down D Em Mind is on the midnight Em Gather up the gold you've found D Em You fool it's only moonlight D Em And if you stop to take it home D Em Your hands'll turn to butter Em Better leave this dream alone Em D Em Try to find another
[Verse 3]
Em Salvation sat and crossed herself D Em And called the devil partner Em Wisdom burned upon a shelf D Em Who'll kill the raging cancer? D Em Seal the river at its mouth D Em Take the water prisoner Em Fill the sky with screams and cries Em D Em Bathe in fiery answer
[Verse 4]
Em Jesus was an only son D Em And love his only concept Em Strangers cry in foreign tongues D Em And dirty up the doorstep D Em And I for one and you for two D Em Ain't got the time for outside Em Keep your injured looks to you Em D Em We'll tell the world that we tried
