Rhymes Of Goodbye
from the album Scott 4 (1969)
by Scott Walker
(D-tuning)
Intro:
D F#m C D
Verse I:
D F#m E B
I've come far from chains, from metal and stone
A E B
From makeshift designs, I'm seeking a star
D F#m E B
To grab for the truth, to keep myself one
A E B
I turn and it's gone gone, you smile and it's born
Chorus I:
D A G
The rhymes of a woman, a river that never ends
D A G
The Rhymes of dimension, surrounds us with fire and friends
F#m Bm G F#m
And roaring through darkness, the night children fly
D A G C D
I still hear them singing the rhymes of goodbye
Verse II:
D F#m E B
"There's nothing within, but within", says a voice
A E B
"That's still my empire, and I've got a choice"
D F#m E B
It's heedless of death, it's still got a fire
A E B
And I'll keep it burning, with hands of desire
D F#m E B
The bells of our senses can cost us our pride
A E B
Can toll out the boundaries that level our lives
D F#m E B
Can slash like the sunlight through shadows and cracks
A E B
Our nakedness calling, our nakedness back
Chorus II:
D A G
The rhyme of our passions, find beauty in loving love
D A G
The rhyme of our madness, burns cities and push and shoves
F#m Bm G F#m
And roaring through darkness, the night children fly
D A G C D
I still hear them singing the rhymes of goodbye
Outro:
C D
