      Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Straight To You

Capo 1st Fret

Intro

G F#m x2

Verse 1 

        G                   F#m
All the towers of ivory are crumbling 
        G                            F#m
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks 
G           D                   G
This is the time of our great undoing 
            D                    G
This is the time that I'll come running 
         D  A
Straight to you 
             G
For I am captured 
         D  A
Straight to you 
            G
For I am captured 
A7       D        G
One more time 

D G A G A


Verse 2

        G                      F#m
Now the light in our window is fading 
        G                        F#m
And the candlelit gutters on the ledge 
G    A   D                  G
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing 
    A    D                          G
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running 
         D  A
Straight to you
            G
For I am captured 
         D  A
Straight to you 
            G
For I am captured 
A7    D     G
Once again 

D G


Verse 3

G            A       F#m      G
Gone are the days of rainbows 
    G            A           F#m               G
And gone are the nights of a-swinging from the stars 
        D                       G
For the sea will swallow up the mountains 
    A   D                                G
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks 
         D  A
Straight at you 
                G
But I'll come a-running 
         D  A
Straight to you 
                G
But I'll come a-running 
A7       D      G
One more time 

D G A G A 


Verse 4

    G                         F#m
Now Heaven has denied us it's kingdom 
        G                             F#m               
And the saints, they're all drunk and howling at the moon 
        D                      G
And the chariots of angels are colliding 
      A    D                          G
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come a-running 
         D  A
Straight to you 
            G
For I am captured 
         D  A
Straight to you
           G
For I am captured 
A7       D      G   
One more time
