Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I don't mean  to hold a gun  up to your head
 I'll be fine  once you are gone,  of that I'm sure
 Another time and I'd be smiling  in your eyes
 For the sake  of all our love  and that I know
 But the rising  of the moon means the ending  of the day
Time  waits for no-one just takes  you away
 I don't mean  to hold a gun  up to your head
 It's just the anticipation  I can't  stand.
 Well, I feel sure  that the genius  who did this
 Didn't even  feel a thud  as he drove by
 Now I know this day must end  with me alone,  dear
 And I see more  than only dark  on my horizon.
 Treason  and infamy enter  my life
 Tears  out the spark that illumines  the Sun
Down  comes this universe tumbling down
Everything is  come undone  (twice)
instrumental verse
Cut  like a knife in the soil  with a spade
Merge  with the one light possessing  the other
Scream,  "Holly Murder,  he's done  us tonight."
Come,  little sister,  behold  the Mother,
Come,  little sister,  behold  ye the Mother.
