Cm               G#           G
A few dark words you said to me
Cm            C#           G#
I drew a blank and then I flew
Cm                G#          G
I walked the plank into the blue
   Ddim7         Fdim7      F#    B+
My heartbeat in leagues of silence

I walked along the coral snow
I saw some lights, an old hotel
The bell was rung, the glasses filled
That cloudy drink that blackens bile

Chorus:
Cm            D#  A#              F
The shade is drawn with stem and vine
G#             D#         F      G#  G
Burned in the flame of a man condemned
Cm         D#  A#           F
With venom wine and golden dawn
G#       D#              F       G# A#
A silver bullet in the chamber turning

You said at last, "Let's have a duel
Out by the pines, the day is warm"
I played the fool and when it passed
The gadflies swarmed and then they dined

Chorus - x3
