to bury my love under this bare light bulb

  the moon is a sickle cell
Gm    C/G         D/A
it’ll kill you in time

your cold white brother riding your blood
D/A                          G
like spun glass in sore eyes
          Bb        Am     Em                  Eb
while the moon does its division you’re buried below

they’ll kill you in time
     Eb/Bb      Gm       C/G          Eb/Bb
your cold white brother alive in your blood
D/A                       G
spinning in the night sky
          Bb        Am     Em                  Eb

so you got in a kind of trouble that nobody knows

  1. what are the “t”‘s in the C** chord? I saw a “t” in another tab as well … No Name #5 I believe

  2. I think riff 2 is played like this

    D ———–
    A ———–
    F –3–2–3–
    C –1–1–1–
    G ———–
    D ———–
