Black Flies - Ben Howard
Standard Tuning
Intro
G# Cm (x3)
Verse One
[G#]Black flies on the [Cm]windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to [G#]know
Winter stole [Cm]summer's thrill
And the river's crack[G#]ed and cold
[G#]See the sky is [Cm]no man's land
A darkened [G#]plume to stay
Hope here needs a [Cm]humble hand
Not a fox [G#]found in your place
Cm G# (x2)
[Cm]
Chorus
[Cm]And no man is an [A#]island, oh this I [G#]know
But can't you see, [Cm]oh?
Maybe you were the [A#]ocean, when I was just a [G#]stone
Verse Two
[G#]Black flies on the [Cm]windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to [G#]hold
Comfort came ag[Cm]ainst my will
And every story [G#]must grow old
Still I'll be a [Cm]traveller
A gypsy's r[G#]eins to face
But the road is [Cm]wearier
With that fool [G#]found in your place
Chorus (x2)
[Cm]And no man is an [A#]island, oh this I [G#]know
But can't you see, [Cm]oh?
Maybe you were the [A#]ocean, when I was just a [G#]stone
[Cm]And no man is an [A#]island, oh this I [G#]know
But can't you see, [Cm]oh?
Maybe you were the [A#]ocean, when I was just a [G#]stone

[Cm]And I don't wanna beg your [G#]pardon
And I don't wanna ask you [Cm]why

Would I have to pass you [Cm]by?
[Cm]And I don't wanna beg your [G#]pardon
