Tom: C
C Am
Hyacinth lightning virgin
G F
Breathing in your ear
C Am
She says you've gone and hurt her
G F
Turned her pure-white body clear
C Am
Shiver through the open window
G F
The streetcars rumble by
C Am
You long for your winter lady
G F
Not this stranger by your side
G F
Not this stranger by your side
[Instrumental]
C Am G F
C Am G F
[Verse]
C Am
The morning air does compel you
G F
To float down the spiral stairs
C Am
Spanish-blue stockings yawning
G F
And the ashes in the air
C Am
Oh Captain, you ask yourself
G F
I miss her of the raven hair
C Am
What future did you behold
G F
When you stole me away from there
G F
When you stole me away from there
[Verse]
C Am
She of the bloom and frost
G F
Of cucumber and olive oil
C Am
She of the spring I've lost
G F
To the song of the nightingale
C Am
Well, the penitent man will be forgiven
G F
But the black-hearted will rot
C Am
So oh golden king forgive me
G F
For not being what I'm not
G F
For not being what I'm not
[Instrumental]
C Am G F
C Am G F
[Verse]
C Am
The captain says he won't answer
G F
From his throne of light and pearls
C Am
Your grotesque, shrouded body
G F
That you loathe and you love
C Am
Is just an accident only you can bear
G F
You're invisible and as wild as the sea
C Am
And you hurt what you hold most dear
[Outro]
G F
You're the traitor, and you are me
G F
You're the traitor, and you are me
G F
You're the traitor, and you are me
G F
You're the traitor, and I am thee
C Am G F
C Am G F
