Capo 5
Bm G
And It seems as though
G/F# Em
I'm on my own
G A
And time transcends, oh!
Bm G
And it seems I speak
G/F# Em
like waters leak
G A
And I'm losing friends, oh!
Bm G G/F# Em
And there'll be coins on my eyes
Bm G G/F# Em
There'll be coins on my eyes
G
To pay Charon
before I let you near my son
Bm G
And I don't feel well
G/F# Em
oh, couldn't you tell,
G A
from the way I touch my face?
Bm G
My thoughts are low
G/F# Em
And I cannot grow
G A
In this small space, oh!
Bm G G/F# Em
But there'll be coins on my eyes
Bm G G/F# Em
There'll be coins on my eyes
G
To pay Charon,
before I let you near my son
Em G
And I ain't no,
And I ain't no,
And I ain't no Hercules
I ain't no Hercules
