John Cale

^E Dark ^A woman in the water ^E drowning
^A Sinking in a funny w ^E ay ^{A E}
Black ^A footing for a face ex ^E ploding
^A Mimicking our final ^B days
Middle 8:
The ^C#m ocean will ^B have us ^A all
The ^C#m ocean will ^B have us ^A all
Dark woman in a cupboard burning
Woman, what have they done
Dark woman like a panther breathing
Woman, what can be done
Middle 8
Cold cost of the death of nothing
Slipping just like nothing did
Burnt scarecrow in the wind was choking
Smoking in the summer heat
Chorus:
Barra ^A cuda, barra ^E cuda
Won't you ^A lay down your life for ^E me
Won't you ^A love me barra ^E cuda
If you ^A always need to bring out the worst in me ^E
Ten morons with their whistles blowing
Howling like a winter gale
Dark woman like a crow a-crowing
Crowing for the carrion meat
Middle 8
Dark forest with the moon arising
Smiling at you out of reach
Cracked window in a chapel dreaming
Hoping that the twain'll meet
Chorus
