Barracuda — John Cale
Chords and lyrics for Barracuda by John Cale (key of E).
Verse 1
[E]Dark [A]woman in the water [E]drowning
[A]Sinking in a funny [E]way[E][A]
Black [A]footing for a face [E]exploding
[A]Mimicking our final [B]days
Middle 8:
The [C#m]ocean will [B]have us [A]all
The [C#m]ocean will [B]have us [A]all
Dark woman in a cupboard burning
Woman, what have they done
Dark woman like a panther breathing
Woman, what can be done
Middle 8
Cold cost of the death of nothing
Slipping just like nothing did
Burnt scarecrow in the wind was choking
Smoking in the summer heat
Chorus
[A]Barracuda, [E]barracuda
Won’t you [A]lay down your life for [E]me
Won't you [A]love me [E]barracuda
If you [A]always need to bring out the worst in me[E]
Ten morons with their whistles blowing
Howling like a winter gale
Dark woman like a crow a-crowing
Crowing for the carrion meat
Middle 8
Dark forest with the moon arising
Smiling at you out of reach
Cracked window in a chapel dreaming
Hoping that the twain'll meet
Chorus
