Severus and Stone Radical Face
Intro: D Bm G
The Bm and G are played in quick succession, like the chords in the song. If you choose
you could fingerpick the D to make it more like the actual song.
[D]all the trees stood like skeletons[Bm] [G]
[D]silhouettes of spilled ink[Bm] [G]
[D]and the snows fell in sheets and got [Bm]wrapped around our [Bsus2]feet
[Bsus2]we built the fire evermore with [A]winter beating at the door
[Bm] [Bsus2]
[D]brother's eyes were getting heavier[Bm] [G]
[D]his bony hands cold and white[Bm] [G]
[D]and I could hear his ragged breathing like the [Bm]wind along a [Bsus2]knife
[Bsus2]there beside him through the [A]night, in the hum of candle[G]light
[Bsus2]I no longer felt the [D]time
[D] [Bm] [Bsus2] [A]
[D]brother woke just after midnight
[Bm]and he didn't make a sound
[D]and as he climbed from out of bed with severed rings around his [Bm]head
[Bsus2]his feet didn't [A]touch the [D]ground
[G]I could feel it then
[A]a tiny miracle
[Bm]so I followed him
[D]into the woods
[G]crossed beneath the trees
[A]but only I [Bm]left my prints in tow
[D]he was afloat
[G]found a lonely tree
[A]and tied [Bm]himself within its limbs
[D]and he said to me these words:
[G]"don't you fear for me,
[A]I am where I'm supposed to [D]be."
[D]and when I woke he was gone
[G]and I was wrapped in blankets on the lawn
[Bm]the sky was blue and my [Bsus2]skin matched the hue
[G]and I could hear mother crying in your room
[A]from here on out I wear this face for both of us
G A Bm G x2
D Bm G x2
Finish on D.
