Eliza Gilkyson - Her Melancholy Muse


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: C

                     G               F
In the darkest hour, midnight blues
                  C
The shadow of her soul will choose
                       G             F
She hears the call and can't refuse
                C
Her melancholy muse


                     G             F
Her feather bed lies on the ground
                      C
Where hours before he laid her down
                        G           F
Like birds of pray they try to lose
                C   F C 
Her melancholy muse


    F                C
His hair was tangled in her hands
     G                     F     C      F
They fell and flew through borderlands
                     C
And what was her and what was him
    G   
Was lost under the skin


INSTRUMENTAL: C  G  F  C    G  F  C  


    F                   C             
The moon shines down on waters deep
    G                  F       C      F
She prays for love her soul to keep
                   C
And as the glowing ember dies
  G      
A whisper of smoke will rise


  C                  G            
A nighthawk's on the wing tonight
    F                  C
She sings for him, she sings the blues
                      G           F
She sings for love to win or lose
                C      G    F
Her melancholy muse
                C
