Black Live Acoustic Chords & Lyrics - Pearl Jam

[INTRO]

[E] , [A] , [E] , [A]

[VERSE 1]
[E]Sheets of empty [A]canvas
Untouched [E]sheets of clay [A]
[E]Lay spread out be[A]fore me
As her [E]body once did
[E]All five hor[A]izons
Revolved [E]around her soul
[A]As the earth to the sun
[E]Now the air I [A]tasted
And breathed has [E]taken a turn

[PRE-CHORUS]
[C]Hmmmm, and all I taught her was every[Em]thing
[C]Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that [Em]she wore

[CHORUS]
And now my [D]bitter hands,
Shake [C]beneath clouds
Of what was [Em]everything
Oh, the [D]pictures
Have all been [C]washed in black
Tattooed everyt[Em]hing

[VERSE 2]
[E]I take a [A]walk outside
I'm sur[E]rounded by some k[A]ids at play
Oh, [E]I can feel their [A]laughter
So, [E]why do I sear

[PRE-CHORUS]
[C]Hmmmm, and twised thoughts that spin 'round my [Em]head, I'm spinning, oh
I'[C]m spinning, How quick the sun can drop a[Em]way

[CHORUS]
And now my [D]bitter hands
Cradle [C]broken glass
Of what was ever[Em]ything
All the [D]pictures have
All been [C]washed in black
Tattooed ever[Em]ything
All the [D]love gone bad
Turned my [C]world to black
And tattooed all [D]I see,
All that [C]I am,
All I'll [Em]be

[BREAK]
[D] [C]Yeah [Em]Uh huh [D]Uh huh [C]


[OUTRO]
I [Em]know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I [D]know you'll be a star in [C]somebody elses sky
But [Em]why, why, [D]why can't it [C]be,
[C]Why can't it be mi[Em]ne [D] [C]

Em, D, C (ad lib till end)
