The Last Beautiful Thing I Saw Is The Thing That Blinded Me chords by Paris Paloma

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: F#m

♫ Verse 1:
    F#m            Bm7
A dozen crows and then some on the rhododendrons
    Dmaj7       C#7
In the cemetery where I lay
   F#m          Bm7
Like Rebecca reigning over Manderley
  Dmaj7         C#7
My foot fell upon your grave
    F#m          Bm7
Like a pressure point hidden beneath the soil
     D         C#7
Down came sheets of pouring hail
 F#m            Bm7
I sheltered in the church's archway then
     D              C#7
From the shards of glass falling so pale

♫ Chorus:
F#m             Em    Bm
And I looked up and saw the sun, it separated all the colors
    E           D        C#7
And the ice, into my eyes, it fell and left me blind
       F#m        Bm             C#m7   C#7
That was the last thing that I saw, the fractured glass in its downpour
      F#m        Bm         C#
I felt the blood mix with the water and I didn't see no more

♫ Verse 2:
F#m            Bm7
 I came across an injured dove
D            C#7
I wanted to put her out of her misery
F#m            Bm
There came no signal from above
D              C#7
No sign, no guide, I thought whatever could this mean
F#m              Bm7
And with my hand I picked her up
Dmaj7            C#7
 And in that moment, oh, it shifted magically
F#m              Bm7  Dmaj7    F#m
For when her feathers felt my touch, I saw her a demon

Feathers, they turned black
Bm       F#m       C#7
Oh, she was no Phoenix, but a creature of the ash

♫ Chorus:
     F#m       E
I let her go, she hit the ground
      D         C#7
I heard the thud, regained her color
    F#m         E      Bm       C#
Saw the scars, she had been bound by someone and left to die

♫ Bridge:
        Bm
I never really found that dove
      A
It's just a story I made up
         D
Because I wanted all of this to stop
         A
And I didn't know how to tell you
D           Bm    D
 I didn't know how (mhm, mhm, mhm)
A           Bm  D  A   E
Oh, I didn't know how (mhm, mhm, mhm) (ooh)

♫ Chorus:
       Bm      D      A
And I looked up, into the sun, it separated all the colors
    Bm              A
And the ice into my eyes, it fell and left me blind
       Bm7       D       A     E
And I looked up, and saw the sun, it separated all the colors
    Bm     D         A        E
And the ice into my eyes, it fell and changed my mind
