Jeff Buckley - Demon John: chords

Say farewell,
G
g'night, Sonny-Jim
C#
In your defenseless,
C         G
winning smile
What do you hope to win?
C#
And bliss face down,
C       G
defended

Well, now stoned Demon John
There's no town the boy cannot belong
Why did you come here?
Is it to excavate all your sins?
Boil within?
Slaughter like the daughter
of the devil you send me
I have to deal, you called me here

Chorus:
Gm
You couldn't say that you were juiced
The night that you were introduced
    A     Gm  A G A
To Demon John
       Gm
Gonna take him with you when you go?
Dance down slow.
        C/G G C# C
Oh, way down

You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector
You undo you life with too much cocoon
Who's your protector?
Dark is the city where the white girls walk by
Down below your eyes, just like fireflies
You call me here, come on here, follow me dear
Past cascades of rage and fear
You called me here

Chorus:
You couldn't say that you had been juiced
The time that you were introduced
to Demon John
Well, you knew you had to want to go,
dance down slow

        E                 A
By the light of the sun, murder comes
   Bm           E
Today or tonight
       C#m7               A
Better get yourself and transcend it
             D
Or burst of light
              G
Blaze stars into me
           C                            E
While the love breaks through here and now
    Cmaj7
So, murder by the light of the sun


Please don't get too close to me
You said you are for real, it's not pretend
All memories stolen, know this for yourself
How would you like to be
the happiest man in the world?
Behind the weathered field hands,
whose blistered
Paws
Harvest cut, for wedding clothes
they'll never wear
Marching down a road that was never there
It takes place on a sunlit face and
 the backbone broken
Please bring us light,

G      C         G     C
Demon John, You Demon John
G                           C
Take him with you when you go
