Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Dark woman  in the water drowning
Sinking  in a funny way
 Black footing  for a face exploding
Mimicking  our final days
 The ocean  will have  us all
 The ocean  will have  us all
 Dark woman in a cupboard burning
 Woman, what have they done
 Dark woman like a panther breathing
 Woman, what can be done
 Cold cost of the death of nothing
 Slipping just like nothing did
 Burnt scarecrow in the wind was choking
 Smoking in the summer heat
 Barracuda,  barracuda
 Won’t you lay  down your life for me
 Won't you love  me barracuda
 If you always  need to bring out the worst in me
 Ten morons with their whistles blowing
 Howling like a winter gale
 Dark woman like a crow a-crowing
 Crowing for the carrion meat
 Dark forest with the moon arising
 Smiling at you out of reach
 Cracked window in a chapel dreaming
 Hoping that the twain'll meet
