I Can't See You
(Beckett/Buckley)

TIM BUCKLEY
From Tim Buckley, 1966

D(-5): xx0234 
(I think that's what the chord is called.  Pink Floyd's 'Crying Song' 
from the album "More" uses the same chord and the tab for the song calls
the chord 'D(-5)' so that's what I called it.)

Intro: 
D(-5) / / / / / / /
Em / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

D
Summer princess, midnight maiden
F
When I first saw you I just breathed
C
Into your smile my past went fadin'
D
Inside your voice, my mind was sheathed
        F
In lost lagoon, we waited, wadin'
          Em
Along the streets we went paradin'
      D
Never looking back to where we'd been

(repeat intro)

Verse 2:
Autumn temptress, sundown angel
Inside your blood you aren't so young
I came to you a loving vandal
And heard your heart and touched your tongue
Day became a lighted candle
Sky fell down beneath your sandal
In your eye I began to spin

(repeat intro)

Verse 3:
Winter harlot, moontime lover
I can't speak when I feel this way
Don't keep your feelings undercover
Tell me what you want today
Don't leave me in the air to hover
Sing it out don't make me suffer
Don't be ashamed love is no sin

(repeat intro)

Verse 4:
Springtime woman, sunrise girl
I am hiding behind the sea
Trick or treat, the Hallowe'en world
Hide and seek but you can't catch me
I won't chase you until you hurl
Your wing to me, and make me twirl
You're alive underneath my skin

(repeat intro, end cold on first Em)
