Black Betty & The Moon

	  		
Verse 1:
 
Em7            Cadd9          Em7               Cadd9 
My love, my love, you're the sting of the scorpion 
    Em7             Cadd9             G         F#/D 
Consider, now, the angels, a little lower than you 
          Em7             Cadd9           Em7             Cadd9 
And they twist and they turn, and they hold their breath 'til it's blue 
         Em7          Cadd9        G               F#/D 
And they can't turn away like I can't, when you're lookin' like you do 


Pre-chorus:
 
     G 
Well looky Black Betty, what they tying to you 
              Em7 
You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do 
            G 
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web 
             Em7                               F#/D 
I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in 


Verse 2:
 
Em7           Cadd9           Em7           Cadd9 
My heart, my heart, you're the moon and her shining light 
Em7              Cadd9                G          F#/D 
Darkness in void of form, like you were keeping me alive 
               Em7                Cadd9          Em7         Cadd9 
And I've been dreaming of poisonings from the venom of my enemies 
Em7                   Cadd9      G         F#/D            G 
Clever as the viper dear, but gentle as a stampede of stones 


Pre-chorus:
 
 G 
Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you 
              Em7                      D 
You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do 
            G 
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web 
             Em7                                F#/D 
I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in 



Em7                  F#/D                           Bm 
And they want you to doubt every trust that you've known 
                         Cadd9                 Em7 
And they wanna find the holes in the armor exposed 
                  F#/D 
And they come on whispering, 
                        Bm 
If you just do this for me... 
                       Cadd9         D 
And turn and show their teeth just before they're sinking in 
Em7               D                      Cadd9 
And better than described and deeper the descent 
                   G                   F#/D 
I never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends 
Em7                D                           Cadd9 
And better than described, so much deeper the descent 
                  G                     F#/D 
I never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends
 


Outro:
 
 G 
Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you 
              Em7                      D 
You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do 
            G 
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web 
             Em7                               F#/D 
I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in 

 G 
Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you 
              Em7                     D 
You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do 
            G 
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web 
             Em7                         F#/D             G 
I hope the money fills the holes in the place I used to stand
