The Gift of a Black Heart

guitar chords lyrics

Said the Whale

Album : Islands Disappear rock PlayStop



The strumming's not too hard to figure out, so I just wrote the chords to keep it simple
I play the little lead/solo bit between verses/choruses with my pinky while
playing the chords, but I'll edit this with the actual tab if anyone wants it
or can't figure it out

the second verse is just bass/keys/drums with no guitar, but if you want to
play the chords along anyway, they're the same as the first verse. thats
where i put the '*'
anyway, here it is..a really good song thats really fun to play


D#m G#m F# B F# B C# D
you are the girl with a black heeeeart
D#m G#m F# B F# B C# D
you are the stars; you are the giiirl with a bright light, yeah I see it shine

D#m G#m F# B F# B C# D

you shrug the coat off of your shoulders
your bones harden in the breeze
billowing smoke, white ghosts are bowed ribbons
through the shivering leaves


D#m N.C. Bm C# D#m
you breathe a big wind. you sing of ice and snow
F#m Bm
shutting up them hungry dogs
C# D#m
you come and bury their bones
F#m Bm C#
you bathe them bright white in the shadows
D#m F#m Bm C# Bm
burning up in the bright light of your black heart
F# Bm F# Bm C# D
