By Roy Harper Transcription by Phil Lord phillip@hgu.mrc.ac.uk Roy more or less plays the chords straight on this song. I tend to play them with little riffs in between on the grounds that I dont have Jimmy Page playing over the top. Amin Last night I wasnt sleeping D Amin I knew it was my last, Amin I’d just been lying thinking, D Amin reliving all my past, my familiy and friends have left, my children are all lost F and now Im standing in the death cell E as the times of sands fall fast Amin my pour heart it is thumping D Amin my head is filled to flood to feel the rope around my neck and know its there for good I know that I am innocent but no ones understood and now Im standing on the gallows to be murdered in cold blood Chorus: Amin G F E We are creatures of darkness, killers of time creatures of darkness bodies in lime Oh hangman, oh hangman how sleepless is your bed I cant believe my own ears my heart is full of lead that you’d apply and get the job, of pulling off my head and leave me kicking in the darkness covering the walls with blood Oh hangman, oh hangman your working in the shade oh creatures of the jungle, whose message is displayed in graphic tones of blood revenge all down the civil blade and your the creppy little monkey who murders to be paid In about six minutes time Ill be thrown into the lime by the screws who dug my grave and never felt ashamed who threw me in still breathing and covered me in slime and put me on a map in the governers office a number with no name We are creatures of darkness.... and true as I stand here Id wished to be untied. the repose lies clean at your throat that my death might somehow be justified theres no unconsecrated ground in my heart or in my mind I lived and died in a world full of snakes and Im buried in a vicious lie We are creatures of darkness Thats it.... The chords are played mostly open with E shape barre chords for the chorus, although you can play them open if you like. I havent worked out the little riff at the beginning of the song, but its just a Amin thing. I seem to remember seeing him play it at the 7th position, but Im sure theres other ways of doing it. Have fun Phil Lord phillip@hgu.mrc.ac.uk http://glengoyne.hgu.mrc.ac.uk/~phillip |
