Flowers (eurydice’s Song) Tab par Anaïs Mitchell

Verse]
Bb
What I wanted was to fall asleep
 Bb
Close my eyes and disappear
 Bb
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
 Bb
Lily white and poppy red
 Bb                Ab
I trembled when he laid me out
  Bb                   Ab        Fm          Bb      Eb
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
 Ab                        Bb     Ab Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb
Nothing gonna wake you now

[Verse]
 Bb
Dreams are sweet until they're not
  Bb                         Fm
Men are kind until they aren't
 Bb                         Fm        Bb      Eb
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
 Bb                    Eb
Is anybody listening?
  Bb                                 Cm
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
 Bb
Nothing
 Bb                       Ab Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb
Nothing gonna wake me now


[Verse]
 Bb
Flowers, I remember fields
           Eb  Bb           Gm
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
               Bb
Walking in the sun
 Eb
I remember someone
               Bb
Someone by my side
  Eb
Turned his face to mine
    Bb
And then I turned away
Eb              Bb Cm Bb Gm Ab
Into the shade

[Outro]
 Bb     Eb
You, the one I left behind
             Bb
If you ever walk this way
  C
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
