Artist: King Crimson Song: The Letters Album: Islads Tabbed by: Wiktor R. Kołowiecki E-mail: ---------------------------------- [Intro] gently Fm e|----4-4-4-| B|----------| G|---5-6-5--| D|--3-------| A|-3--------| E|----------| [Verse] With quill and silver knife She carved a poison pen Wrote to her lover’s wife: "Your husband’s seed has fed my flesh". As if a leper’s face That tainted letter graced The wife with choke-stone throat Ran to the day with tear-blind eyes. [Interlude] Variations on Fm [Verse] Impaled on nails of ice And raked with emerald fire The wife with soul of snow With steady hands begins to write: "I’m still I need no life To serve on boys and men What’s mine was yours is dead I take my leave of mortal flesh" ------------------------------------------- Lublin Poland 18.08.09
