Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Spinning Song: chords

Dm
Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung
It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
She tended the castle garden and in the garden planted a tree

Dm
The garden tree was a stairway, it was 16 branches high
C                                                   Dm C
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
A#                          F
In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing
                                                       Dm C A# F
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
Dm                                         C
The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
                                  A#                         F
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
Dm                              C
But the feather spun upward, upward and upward
Spinning all the weather vanes
A#                                                         F
And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio

       A#              C                               A#
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you
               C                       A#
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you

Dm                  C                  A#                 F
Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time
Dm                   C                 A#                F
A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us
Dm                  C                  A#                 F
Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time
Dm                   C                 A#                F
A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us
