Took an old poem and wrote a song for my new (yeah, tacky) concert ukulele. Chord feedback/suggestions definitely welcome!
(Am)Five planets and a full Hunger (C)Moon
(C)Merely a meaningless magical (Am)rune
(G)Dangling above my sorrowful (C)head
(C)Making me wish I was (G)dead
(G)Dawn breaks in a Bluesy (C)sky
(C)Here I am, trying not to (G)cry
(F)Same as a Weeping Willow, rooted (C)below
(C)Heart cold and lost like an icy (F)floe
(G)Unlike the Moon, I do not hunger for (C)food
(C)Need a way out of my (G)solitude
(G)How might I cope with your (C)desertion?
(C)Why would I want to continue your (G)coercion?
(Am)Five planets and a full Hunger (C)Moon
(C)Merely a meaningless magical (Am)rune
(G)Retrograde planets add to your harsh (C)words
(C)Mercury and Jupiter whirling (G)backwards
(G)Venus, Saturn and also (C)Mars
(C)Add strife to the male-female (G)spars
(F)Love has become something (C)ephemeral
(C)Creating an atmosphere stifling and (F)sterile
(G)Like a nocturnal mammal I scurry (C)around
(C)Shivering on the muddy (G)ground
(G)Not sure what to do (C)anymore
(C)Bright Antares and Spica I (G)ignore
(Am)Five planets and a Full Hunger (C)Moon
(C)Merely a meaningless magical (Am)rune
(Am)Merely a meaningless magical (C) rune
