Death Singing
F A
In the straw-colored light
In light rapidly changing
On a life rapidly fading
Am E
Have you seen death singing
C E
Have you seen death singing
F A
With a throat smooth as a lamb
Yet dry as a branch not snapping
He throws back his head
And he does not sing a thing mournful
Am E
Have you seen death singing
C E
Have you seen death singing
Am E
Have you seen death singing
E Am
In the straw-colored light
He sings a black embrace
And white opals swimming
In a child\'s leather purse
Have you seen death swimming
Have you seen death swimming
With a throat smooth as a lamb
Yet dry as a branch not snapping
He throws back his head
And he does not sing a thing mournful
Have you seen death singing
Have you seen death singing
Have you seen death singing
In the straw-colored light
He sings of youth enraged
And the burning of Atlanta
And these viral times
And May ribbons streaming
And straw-colored curls a-turning
A mother\'s vain delight
And woe to the sun
And woe to the young
Another hearse is drawn
Have you seen death singing
In the straw-colored light
