lyrics

The Cold Heaven
By William Butler Yeats



Am7 - Bm7 x2
Suddenly I saw the cold and rook-delighting heaven
Am7 Em Am7 - Bm7
That seemed as though ice burned and was but the more ice,
Am7 - Bm7 x2
And thereupon imagination and heart were driven
C G Am7
So wild that every casual thought of that and this
D Am7 D Am7
Vanished, and left but memories, that should be out of season
C G Am7
With the hot blood of youth, of love crossed long ago;
Am7 - Bm7 x2
And I took all the blame out of all sense and reason,
C G Am7
Until I cried and trembled and rocked to and fro,
D Am7 D Am7
Riddled with light. Ah! when the ghost begins to quicken,
C G Am7
Confusion of the death-bed over, is it sent
D Am7 D Am7
Out naked on the roads, as the books say, and stricken
C G B7
By the injustice of the skies for punishment?
