Phantasmagoria In Two

PHANTASMAGORIA IN TWO, Tim Buckley

Verse 1:

|Em |D |C |Em |Em

If a fiddler played you a song my love

|Em|D |C |C |Em |Em

And if I gave you a wheel

|C |D |G |Am |Am

Would you spin for my heart and loneliness

|C |D |C |C |Em |Em

Would you spin for my love

Verse 2:

If I gave up all of my pride for you

And only loved you for now

Would you hide my fears and never say

tomorrow I must go

|C |D |Em |Em

Everywhere there's rain my love

|C |D |Em |Em

Everywhere there's fear

Verse 3:

If you tell me a lie I'll cry for you

Tell me of sin and I'll laugh

If you tell me of all the pain you've had

I'll never smile again

Verse 4:

I can plainly see that our parts have changed

Our sands are shifted around

Need I beg to you for one more day

to find our lonely love

Chorus-End

Suggestions on how to play:

Listen to the acoustic version on the DREAM LETTER album (2-CD).

Capo on 2:nd fret to get a somewhat more muted sound.

This is a beautiful lovesong with a 4/4 halfbeat folksong feeling

A - corresponds to 1/8 beat. Stomp your feet at every ^ to get that

halfbeat feeling.
