Verse: (w/rhy. Fig. 1)
Bm7 Bm7/A Bm7/G Bm7 Bm7/A Bm7/G
1. Your mother's child. But night lays you down.
Bm7 Bm7/A Bm7/G Bm7 Bm7/A Bm7/G
Hair a-flame, wild look in your eyes. Naked belly to the ground.
Bm7 Bm7/A Bm7/G Bm7 Bm7/A Bm7/G
A forest fire nibbles at your veins,
Bm7 Bm7/A Bm7/G Bm7 Bm7/A Bm7/G
Crawls up your arm runs away with your mind and burns dry thoughts like leaves.

verse 2:
Eyes stare up, but something's in the way.
In the Bible, only angels have wings
And the rest must wait to be saved.
A dry tounge screams at the sky
But the wind just breathes words in
As a strange bird tries to fly.
(to chorus:)
Verse 3:
Pieces of us die everyday
As though our flesh were hell.
Such an injustice, as children we were told
That from God we fell.
Whare are my angels?
Where's my golden one?
Where is my hope now that my heroes have gone?
Some are being beaten, some are being born.
And some can't tell the difference anymore.
(to chorus:)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JEWEL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
