Beneath the Southern Cross Lyrics

Song information: the song's signature meter is 12/8. BPM is around 100. Listen to the
song for the strumming pattern and accents (first chord of the bar is louder than the
others). Mostly the pattern consists of downstrokes, but there are variations. Give
attention to the rhythm.
Play the first chord of the bar fully, the other chords only the 'higher sounding' ones.
Chord voicings:
D: x00232
Asus4: x00230
G: xx0033
D en G actually have other names (D/A, G/D), but I call them D and G for readability of
the chord chart.
Intro:

Verse 1:
Oh
to be
not anyone
gone
this maze of being
skin
Verse 2:
oh
to cry
not any cry
so mournful that
the dove just laughs
the steadfast gasps
Verse3:
oh
to owe
not anyone
nothing
to be
not here
but here
forsaking
equatorial bliss
who walked through
the callow mist
dressed in scraps
who walked
the curve of the world
whose bone scraped
whose flesh unfurled
who grieves not
anyone gone
to greet lame
the inspired sky
amazed to stumble
where gods get lost
beneath
the southern cross
Outro:
(chords played over Jeff Buckley's vocal)
Coda:
cross over boy
cross over
