I Cant See You

I Can't See You

(Beckett/Buckley)

TIM BUCKLEY

From Tim Buckley, 1966

D(-5): xx0234

(I think that's what the chord is called. Pink Floyd's 'Crying Song'

from the album "More" uses the same chord and the tab for the song calls

the chord 'D(-5)' so that's what I called it.)

D(-5) / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

Summer princess, midnight maiden

When I first saw you I just breathed

Into your smile my past went fadin'

Inside your voice, my mind was sheathed

In lost lagoon, we waited, wadin'

Along the streets we went paradin'

Never looking back to where we'd been

(repeat intro)

Verse 2:

Autumn temptress, sundown angel

Inside your blood you aren't so young

I came to you a loving vandal

And heard your heart and touched your tongue

Day became a lighted candle

Sky fell down beneath your sandal

In your eye I began to spin

(repeat intro)

Verse 3:

Winter harlot, moontime lover

I can't speak when I feel this way

Don't keep your feelings undercover

Tell me what you want today

Don't leave me in the air to hover

Sing it out don't make me suffer

Don't be ashamed love is no sin

(repeat intro)

Verse 4:

Springtime woman, sunrise girl

I am hiding behind the sea

Trick or treat, the Hallowe'en world

Hide and seek but you can't catch me

I won't chase you until you hurl

Your wing to me, and make me twirl

You're alive underneath my skin

(repeat intro, end cold on first Em)
