Robyn Hitchcock – Opiatrescence chords

[Verse 1]
Em               BmIn the valley of darkness
      A                 C        D       EmWhere moonlight glows behind the falling leaves
                    BmIn the wastes of november
           A             C    D    EWhere each man sees what only he believes

[Chorus]
E                         G  FI would show you what you ar-re
        C               D               EIn a portrait where you writh in living oils
                          G   FYes i'd show you what you ar -re
    C             D              EmA reflection in a lake before it boils

[Verse 2]
Em                   BmIn the harbour of autumn
           A                 C    D         EmWhere the summer ships are water logged and cold
                       BmDoes it hurt you to remember
         A               C        D        EHow they came and went before the year got old

[Chorus]
E                      G  FThe distraction of the ra-in
         C                        D                 Eafter twilight never stops till winter's midnight breath
                      G FShall i show it you aga-in
    C                  D                              EmHow precisely shall my angels fly to comfort you with death

[Verse 3]
Em                       BmIf you fell in to the water
         A                 C        D          EmIt would freeze you long before you reach the land
                       BmAnd at four tomorrow morning
            A              C          D       EThere would be no dawn, no footprints in the sand

[Chorus]
E                       G  FI would take you as you ar-re
         C             D                                 Eevery morning, now you reach me with your eyes as red as sun
                        G  FYes i'd take you as you ar-re
            C               D                            Emfrom your birthday till the end of you, the end of everyone.
