[N] [B] This is a song called black [F#]
by Pearl [E] Jam
[A]
[E]
[A]
[E] She's of empty [A] canvas
[E] Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
[A] as her [E]
body once did
[A]
Horizons revolved
[E]
Around the song [A] as the earth to the sun
[E]
now the
Air I tasted [A] and breathed
[E] Has taken a turn
[C]
And all [G] I taught her was [Em] everything
[Cm]
I know [G] she gave me all that she [Em] wore
And now [D] my bitter hands
Shake [G] beneath [C] the clouds of what [Em] was everything
All the [D] pictures have
All been [G] washed in black
Tattooed [E] everything
I'll take a [A] walk outside
I'm [E]
surrounded by
[A]
Some kids at play
[E]
I can feel the [A]
laughter
So [B] I do I [E] swear
[G]
[C] And twisted thoughts that spin around my [Em] head
I'm spinning
[C] Spinning how quick the [G] Sun can [Em] drop away
And now [D] my bitter hands
Cradle [C] broken glass of what was everything
[Em] All [D] the pictures had
All been [G] washed in black
[C] Tattooed everything
[G] All the [D] love gone bad.
They turned [C] my world to black
[D] Tattooed all I see
All that I [C] am
[G] all I'll be
[A]
[G]
[C] Yeah
[G]
[D] [G]
No, someday [Em] you have a beautiful [D] life I know you'll be a star [G] in somebody
[Cm] Yeah, [G] but why
[Em] Why?
[D]
[C] Can it be why can't it be [G] my
[D]
Why can't it [G] be
[D]
Why can't it be [C] why can't it be my
[G] [Em]
You Know
No, [A] no, no, no
No, no, no
[G] No, no, [C] no
[Em]
No, [C] [D]
[G]
[D] [G]
