Aftermath [Bonus Track] chords by
Don Mclean

N/A

Key: D major

Verse 1
G G 
 
Windows in a silent room
Sunlight burns the walls to black
Am Am 
 
Angles and dimensions melt
While colors drip and pillows crack
Bm Bm 
 
Reflections of my memories
like pictures pasted on a sheet
Am Am 
 
A   ribbon film of separate frames
G G 
 
lying curled up at my feet
The film is just a snake design
F# F# 
 
and the photographs are fading fast
D D 
 
F F 
 
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
These are not memories of mine,
G G 
 
I have no future and no past
D D 
 
I have seen a thousand afternoons
G G 
 
D D 
 
dissolve into the night
Like sugar crystals on a spoon,
G G 
 
D D 
 
they disappear from sight
E E 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
Gray days from the crispest
morning
G G 
 
F# F# 
 
to the warmest afternoon
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
In  this room
D D 
 
And I like to draw the face
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
I saw so long ago
My image in the mirror
C C 
 
D D 
 
tells the jagged lines which way to go
E E 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
A black and white description
G G 
 
F# F# 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
of the sole survivor of the holocaust.
D D 
 
G G 
 
All the rest were lost.
Do you see this paper face?
It has no color or no mood.
Am Am 
 
My eyes are ageless as am I.
I need no sleep, I need no food
D D 
 
I am a king, but like a child
Bm Bm 
 
The other children laugh at me
Am Am 
 
Tongues of fire, wagging wild
G G 
 
They dance around me merrily
I'll kill them all,
D D 
 
and if I fail I'll kill whoever I can find
F F 
 
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
And then they'll beg me to be kind
D D 
 
My eyes have seen far more
G G 
 
D D 
 
than eyes can ever tell
This planet plunged through mushroom
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
fires of  earthly hell
E E 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
I  know that my sweet Jesus
D D 
 
said that he'd return
F# F# 
 
E E 
 
A A 
 
But Babylon has fallen,
G G 
 
D D 
 
and the cities burn
