|:B/D#   |    |Esus2  |    :| (x 2)

|Absus4/Eb |F#sus2 |C#/F  |    ||


|B/D#      |            |
   Out of woman come the man, spend the
|Esus2          |         |
 rest of his life getting back where he can
|B/D#      |    |Esus2     |   |
   As a bow, so a dove, as below, so a-bove
|Absus4/Eb           |
      From the black hole,
|F#sus2            |
     come the tadpole
|C#/F           |         ||
   With the dark soul in coal she burn, she

|B/D#      |      |
 burn; as I drove into the sun,
|Esus2         |      |
 Didn't dare look where I had begun
|B/D#        |        |
 Lost among echoes of things not there,
|Esus2           |         |
 Watching the sound forming shapes in the air
|Absus4/Eb           |
     From the white star,
|F#sus2            |
     come the bright scar
|C#/F      |        |G  |  ||
   Our amoeba, my little liebe schon_____
