Before She Shot The Arrow
Lyrics and Chords
INTRO ; Amin Emin D
Amin Emin D
I’ve been sleeping in the shallows, too long
Amin Emin D
In the shadow of the gallows, too long
F#min7 G
Now the time has come, well, I must say
F#min7 G A Amin Emin D
I’m not happy, but I’m not afraid
Amin Emin D
I veered between resolve and despair
Amin Emin D
Praying to a saviour that was never there
F#min7 G
And the last thing that my body needs
F#min7 G A
Is one more eleventh hour reprieve
Bmin F#min7
Before she shot the arrow
Bmin F#min7
I was aimed this way
Bmin A G
Seen the black flag rise a thousand times
Amin G D
All the people walk away
SOLO Chords ; D Amin G x 2 F#min7 G F#min7 G A
Amin Emin D
The darkening sky is riven and rent
Amin Emin D
There is nothing left now, but the punishment
F#min7 G
I know that there’s no place above
F#min7 G A
For the victims of the vagaries of love
Bmin F#min7
Before she shot the arrow
Bmin F#min7
I was aimed this way
Bmin A G
Seen the black flag rise a thousand times
Amin G Bmin F#min7
All the people walk away
Bmin F#min7
Away

Lyrics
I’ve been sleeping in the shallows, too long
In the shadow of the gallows, too long
Now the time has come, well, I must say
I’m not happy, but I’m not afraid
I veered between resolve and despair
Praying to a saviour that was never there
And the last thing that my body needs
Is one more eleventh hour reprieve
Before she shot the arrow
I was aimed this way
Seen the black flag rise a thousand times
All the people walk away
The darkening sky is riven and rent
There is nothing left now, but the punishment
I know that there’s no place above
For the victims of the vagaries of love
Before she shot the arrow
I was aimed this way
Seen the black flag rise a thousand times
All the people walk away
