MY DEATH from '72 


INTRO:  Em  Em7  Em6  Emdim6
        Em  Em7  Em6  Emdim6


Em Em7         Em6  Emdim6    Em
My death waits like an old roué
Em7     Em6 Emdim6       Em
So confident I'll go his way
Em7        Em6 Emdim6  D           Dsus4  D
Whistle to him and the passing time
G  Am7         A            G
My death waits like a bible truth
Am     F             Am   Am/G
At the funeral of my youth
   F                      G
We drank for that and the passing time
G#m      F#                    G#m
My death waits like a witch at night
   F#                    G#m
As surely as our love is bright
F#                             B
Let's not think of that or the passing time


CHORUS 1:
Em                D
But what ever lies behind the door
C        C/B             B
There is nothing much to do
Em              D
Angel or devil, I don't care
C      C/B               Am Am/G     B
For in front of that door,  there is you


BREAK:  Bb  C


Gm
My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees the world through an unlit mind
                         F
Throw him a dime for the passing time
Bb             C           Bb
My death waits to allow my friends
  G#                       Cm
A few good times before it ends
              G#                      Bb
Ah, let's not think about the passing time
Bm             A                  Bm
My death waits there between your thighs
          A                     Bm
Your cool fingers will close my eyes
          A               F#
Let's think of that, and the passing time


CHORUS 2:
Gm                F
But what ever lies behind the door
Eb                       D
There is nothing much to do
Gm              F
Angel or devil, I don't care
Eb                                   D
For in front of that door,  there is you


Gm
My death waits there among the leaves
In magicians' mysterious sleeves
                         F
Rabbits and dogs and the passing time
Bb             C               Bb
My death waits there among the flowers
          G#              Cm
Where the blackest shadow cowers
              G#             Bb
 let's pick lilacs for the passing time
Bm             A                 Bm
My death waits there in a double bed
      A                 Bm
Sails of oblivion at my head
          A               F#
So, pull up the sheets against the passing time


CHORUS 3:
Gm                F
But what ever lies behind the door
Eb                       D
There is nothing much to do
Gm              F
Angel or devil, I don't care
Eb                                   D
For in front of that door...there is you
