Em D C Bm EmThe clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst out of you from their hiding
 
 
Em D C Bm Emplace. Like acid and oil on a mad man's face, his reason tends to fly away.
 
 
C G C B EmLike lesser birds on the four winds; like silver scrapes in May. And now
 
 
D C Bm Emthe sands become a crust. Most of you have gone away.
 
Note: The way I play the Em chord ( the others are played similarly ) is
 
to play like an arpeggio ie.: Bold the Em chord O22OOO and play the B
 
note (5th str. 2nd fret) then the E (6th open) the B again with the
 
E optional (4th str. 2nd fret) and then strum the Em chord up (or down.)
 
using the first 3 strings in the open position while ringing the bass notes.
 
Second small leads (pull off 7to5 if you prefer)
