[Verse 1]
Cm               Ab            G
A few dark words you said to me
Cm            Db          Ab
I drew a blank and then I flew
Cm                Ab        G
I walked the plank into the blue
Ddim7          Fdim7       F#  Baug
My heartbeat in leagues of silence


[Verse 2]
Cm             Ab        G
I walked along the coral snow
Cm                Db      Ab
I saw some lights, an old hotel
Cm                Ab           G
The bell was rung, the glasses filled
Ddim7       Fdim7      Gb       Baug
That cloudy drink that blackens bile


[Chorus]
Cm           Eb    Bb            F
The shade is drawn with stem and vine
Ab            Eb         F       Ab  G
Burned in the flame of a man condemned
Cm         Eb   Bb         F
With venom wine and golden dawn
Ab       Eb            F       Ab Bb
A silver bullet in the chamber turning

[Verse 3]
Cm          G    Ab            G
You said at last "Let's have a duel
Cm         G     Db          Ab
Out by the pines, the day is warm"
Cm           G   Ab           B
I played the fool and when it passed
Ddim7        Fdim7       Gb       Baug
The gadflies swarmed and then they dined


[Chorus]
Cm           Eb   Bb             F
The shade is drawn with stem and vine
Ab            Eb         F   Ab     G
Burned in the flame of a man condemned
Cm         Eb       Bb     F
With venom wine and golden dawn
Ab       Eb            F       Ab Bb
A silver bullet in the chamber turning
