Intro: A Am E E7+9
A Am
a flock of knives cut the sky
E E7+9
and buried in my black eyes
A Am
and the clouds they bled in my head
E E7+9
and autumn rain soaked the dry beds
A Am
and the hurricane of her eyes
E E7+9
wailed away the knives
F#m B
the knives of summertime, summertime
F#m B
the knives of summertime, summertime
F#m Am E (ring out)
the knives of summertime
A Am
and i did swallow stained glass tears
E E7+9
absorbed by the sun for many light years
A Am
and the fire flies in her hair
E E7+9
my red concertinas coming down the stairs
A Am
and the hurricane of her eyes
E E7+9
wailed away the knives
F#m B
the knives of summertime, summertime
F#m B
the knives of summertime, summertime
F#m Am E (ring out)
the knives of summertime
