Intro: A Am E E7/9+
A Am
A flock of knives cut the sky
E E7/9+
And buried in my black eyes
A Am
And the clouds they bled in my head
E E7/9+
And autumn rain soaked the dry beds
A Am
And the hurricane of her eyes
E E7/9+
Wailed away the knives
F#m B
The knives of summertime, summertime
F#m B
The knives of summertime, summertime
F#m Am E (ring out)
The knives of summertime
A Am
And i did swallow stained glass tears
E E7/9+
Absorbed by the sun for many light years
A Am
And the fire flies in her hair
E E7/9+
My red concertinas coming down the stairs
A Am
And the hurricane of her eyes
E E7/9+
Wailed away the knives
F#m B
The knives of summertime, summertime
F#m B
The knives of summertime, summertime
F#m Am E (ring out)
The knives of summertime
