Frank Black - When The Paint Goes Darker Still

intro : Am

Am B Dm Am
i Am just a weary singer
Am B Dm E
moving through this world of ills
Am B Dm Am
hark the choir of predecessors
E G C
when the paint grows darker still

Am B Dm Am
once i found a golden trumpet
Am B Dm E
in the mash of an old landfill
Am B Dm Am
now i play for the spirits
E G C
when the paint grows darker still

F G C A#
winter waited in my garden
F G C G
when the sun did refuse to shine
F G C A#
honeybees all in a slumber
F G C G
skies filled up the sea
F G C G
falling down on me

Am B Dm Am
see his eyes turn to stained glass
Am B Dm E
head to toe in a black roadkill
Am B Dm Am
here i Am for your judgement
E G C G
when the paint grows darker still

when the paint grows darker still
