Black Elevator Lyrics

Where the Roots All Grow
Intro:
B--------1-3-3--3-3-4p3--4p3p1----|
D---------------------------------| (melodica arr for guitar)
D----------------------------| (Riff A - banjo arr for guitar)
VS (while banjo plays variations on riff A):
There's no using the stairs tonight. Black box will take you right
Many floors down where the earth is fire and molten
And the bell man tips his hat. You try not to notice that
His tail is long, his legs are made of wood
Pre-Chs:
And no one here knows your name. And you won't be coming home.
Chs:
You're going down in the black elevator.
You tried to drink the water. The water wouldn't save
You're going down in the black elevator.
G D A (with Riff A on banjo)
You're rowing up that river tonight
Repeat VS, Pre-Chs, Chs
Bridge:
And I know a better place. It's so much further down
You'll ever be mine in there. With a hammer coming down
And you ever work the earth. And your hands turn to stone
No one here knows your name. And you won't be coming home
Chs:
You're going down in the black elevator.
You tried to drink the water. The water wouldn't save
You're going down in the black elevator.
You're rowing up that river tonight
I said you're rowing up that river tonight
I said you're rowing up that river tonight
Outro riff (banjo arr for guitar):
E------------------------------- (x4) then --|
E----------------------------| (x4) then back to the other riff
Then freestyle into "Black Dresses"
