Pearl Jam - Black (Live Acoustic)
[Intro]
E A E A
[[Verse]]
E A
Sheets of empty canvas
E A
Untouched sheets of clay
E A
Lay spread out before me
E
As her body once did
E A
All five horizons chordband.com
E
Revolved around her soul
A
As the earth to the sun
E A
Now the air I tasted
E
And breathed has taken a turn
[[Pre-Chorus]]
C Em
Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything
C Em
Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore
[[Chorus]]
D
And now my bitter hands,
C
Shake beneath clouds
Em
Of what was everything
D
Oh, the pictures
C
Have all been washed in black
Em
Tattooed everything
[[Verse]]
E A
I take a walk outside
E A
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E A
Oh, I can feel their laughter
E
So, why do I sear
[[Pre-Chorus]]
C Em
Hmmmm, and twised thoughts that spin 'round my head, I'm spinning, oh
C Em
I'm spinning, How quick the sun can drop away
[[Chorus]]
D
And now my bitter hands
C
Cradle broken glass
Em
Of what was everything
D
All the pictures have
C
All been washed in black
Em
Tattooed everything
D
All the love gone bad
C
Turned my world to black
D
And tattooed all I see,
C
All that I am,
Em
All I'll be
[[Break]]
D C Em D C
Yeah Uh huh Uh huh
[[Outro]]
Em
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
D C
I know you'll be a star in somebody elses sky
Em D C
But why, why, why can't it be,
C Em D C
Why can't it be mine
Em D C
