Biography:
Swans is a band from New York, United States, active from 1982 to 1997, reformed in 2010, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira.
Marginally associated with the no wave scene at first, their original sound was slow and extremely heavy, with live performances that were often so brutal and physical that in a number of instances certain audience members were made ill, police were called and venues were shut down. This early physical sound is possibly best heard on the live album Public Castration Is A Good idea.

He plays these chords in an alternate way and may have guitar in

E
Through a door in the end
On a crumbling stair
A
In a clear and rushing vein
In a tunnel full of rain
F#m
In a piece of yellow light
On the skin of my eye
E
Are you there?
E
In the wind of my lung
In methane and in love
A
In petroleum plumes
There's a floating slice of moon
F#m
In your tooth and your claw
And your unforgiving jaws
E
Are you there?
E
On a burning white ship
In the taste of her lips
A
In the blood of the swans
As the sun fucks the dawn
F#m
In the mud of the lake
In the drunk and the dazed
E
Are you there?
E
In the now that is not
On a ladder to God
A
On a mountain stripped bare
With your hand in my hair
F#m
Behind the face of the sky
On a disappearing lie
E
Are you there?
E
In the then that was now
In the now that is not
A
In our names we forgot
In a thought we just lost
F#m
We become what we choose
We are stumbling fools
E
Who are not there
E
There's some tangled dirty twine
In some idiot's clouded mind
A
There's some wires that won't unwind
Around the ankles of the blind
F#m
There's some walls lined with soft lead
And in that room is your bed
E
Is that really you?
E
Are you in there?
E
On the moon?
E
In the air?
E
In my hand?
E
Thrown in a fire?
