tender is the night - the triffids chords
Start Jamming...
I knew him as [D] a gentle young [A] man, I cannot [E] say for sure the [D] reasons for [A] his decline.
We watched him [D] fade before our [A] very eyes, And [E] years before his time, and years [F#m] before his time,
[D] [A] Surrounded [D] himself with [A] shining fins.
First [E] night he filled [D] salmon pools upon [A] a stream,
Disappeared [D] in all the [A] pestilence the sudden [E] pleasure brings.
[F#m] [D] [E] Never asks after her anymore, [Em] He made a point [G] of losing her [Bm] address,
[Em] And every trinket [G] that she [D] ever touched he keeps locked away.
And just burns up in the furnace of his chest, [A] Well spoke to a man who [E] says done it [F#m] all,
And the only thing that pleases [D] or excites him now,
[A] Is hurting, [E] hurting, then hurting [A] some more.
There's someone I want to [E] forget tonight,
Don't [F#m] you want to forget [D] someone too?
[A] I loved him [E] and I can leave [A] you too.
Baby let's [D] go out tonight, It belongs [A] hung out alright I'm sure,
Don't want to [D] drink at home again tonight, So let's go [A] out, baby let's [D] go out tonight.
It's [A] getting dark earlier now, But [D] where you are, it's just [A] getting light,
[D] Where you are it will just be getting [A] light.
