Intro
Am Am F F Dm Dm
[Riff]
Am Am F F Dm Dm G
[Verse 1]
Am Am
In the morning mist
C F
by the waning moon
F
through the woods she set on foot
Dm
With a sacred blade cut the berries down
G F#m E D#m F#/C#
Dug up the dreaded mandrake root
[Interlude]
F#m E D#m F#/C#
[Chorus]
A D F#m F#m
Tread my path to summer's end
A D F#m F#m
This bequest I leave you, she says
A D F#m F#m
You will see what could be evergreen
A D F#m F#m
Turn to copper and fade to gray
[Verse 2]
Am Am
By the standing stones
F
Atropine eyes smiled at me
F Dm
Sitting in a sluggish vertigo
Dm G
Sands of time form another dream
[Verse 3]
Am Am
No love without sacrifice
C F
No life springs without decay
F
The final kiss is a wormy one
Dm Dm
In soil's cold caress to rest we'll lay
G F#m E D#m F#/C#
to rest we'll lay
[Interlude]
F#m E D#m F#/C#
[Chorus]
A D F#m F#m
Tread my path to summer's end
A D F#m F#m
This bequest I leave you, she says
A D F#m F#m
You will see what could be evergreen
A D F#m F#m
Turn to copper and fade to gray
