Death In June — Rocking Horse Night

[Intro]:
D* D** D D*** D A Cmaj7 /*x2*/

[Verse]:
 D*     D**    D  D*** D
Hold me as I slip aw   ay
A         Cmaj7
Into this coldness
 D*     D**    D  D*** D
Hold me as I slip aw   ay
A          Cmaj7
Into these colours

[Pre-Chorus]:
 Em           A      G
Hold me as I pay respect
     Em
To broken spires
     A       Cmaj7
Of dreadful night

[Verse]:
     D*   D**      D  D*** D
My flesh has been torn
   A                Cmaj7
My eyes have seen clouds
    D*          D**         D  D*** D
My nails have gripped the clay
     A              Cmaj7
Of crawling black flowers

[Pre-Chorus]:
   Em      A    G
Recalling dead sorrow
   Em       A    Cmaj7
Recalling black love

[Chorus]:
 D
You and I
     Am
In pleasure parted
 Em
You and I
    A
In sadness racked
 D
You and I
     Am
In flowers falling
 Em
You and I
   A
Invoke culling
 D
You and I
    Am
In soulless searching
 Em
You and I
    A
In heartfelt hurting
 D
You and I
    Am
At our first bleeding
        Cmaj7
You and I, You and I . .

[Verse]:
      D*      D**   D    D*** D
This little childs death
  A              Cmaj7
This bundle of cloth
       D*    D**     D     D*** D
With prayer book precision
    A             Cmaj7
On rocking horse night

[Pre-Chorus]:
 Em       A  G
Casting the runes
Em     A         Cmaj7
Odal, hail and thorn

[Verse]:
 D*     D**    D  D*** D
Hold me as I slip aw   ay
A         Cmaj7
Into this coldness
 D*     D**    D  D*** D
Hold me as I slip aw   ay
A          Cmaj7
Into these colours

[Outro]:
 Em           A      G
Hold me as I pay respect
     Em
To dreadful spires
    A     Cmaj7
Of tired life
