Standard (EADGBE)

(

)

Guitar 2 is a mandolin, tuned down 1/2 step (Gb Db Ab Eb)

Note: Watch the time signature here. The main riff is in 14/8, which

I think of as a measure of 6 followed by a measure of 8 (as

I indicate below). But, the rest of the song is in 8/8, and the

shifts from 14/8 to 8/8 and back again are subtle.

Intro and main riff:

(6/8) (8/8)

Verse

She is trapped inside a month of grey

And they take a little every day

She is a victim of her own responses

Shackled to a heart that wants to settle

And the runs away

Chorus

It's a sin to be fading endlessly

Yeah, but she's alright with me

She is leaving on a walkaway

She is leaving me in disarray

In the absence of a place to be

She stands there looking back at me

Hesitates, and then turns away

She'll change so suddenly

She's just like mercury

Yeah, but she's alright with me

Bridge

(Guitar 1 plays last 8/14 of main riff once)
