His Grinning Skull

Wild Beasts

Playing this on ukulele w/capo so sorry if it's a bit off on guitar. Intro: How can you pine anymore it is beautiful and for all, unavoidable so here are his bones and his grinning skull so now he is home to the bluebottles He who was your bull and made the shadows run And I understand in all things he was quite the man but now perched on his skull he wears cuckolds horns they're growing full pushing through the soil pools gathering round my knees temptation leers at me from every door so these are his bones why won't you leave them alone? worms crowding her feet trying to pull me back to their holes tap-tapping in the room below nothing more than dead piles of bones saying: 'I'll eat this young whelp's heart I will' 'I'll eat this young whelp's heart I will' 'I'll eat this young whelp's heaaaaaaaart' HEAVE-HO HEAVE-HO with fists for spades we raid his grave with big black boots we stomp the roots with fists for spades we raid his grave with big black boots we stomp the roof HEAVE-HO HEAVE-HO HEAVE-HO HEAVE-HO HEAVE-HO
