Trying to do justice do one of the greatest lost love songs ever made. Black by Pearl Jam. Played with guitar tuned ½ step down.
Lyrics:
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
And all I taught her was everything
I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattoed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
And twisted thoughts they spin
'Round my head
I'm spinnin', Oh I'm spinnin
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattoed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattoed all I see
All that I am
All that I'll be
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be the sun
In somebody else's sky, but why, why
Why can't it be, can't it be mine?
