I Will Not Mourn Who I Was That Has Gone Away

Field Medic


Tom: F#

F#  B

[Verse 1]
F#
I swear these crows keep getting bigger
F#
Hanging on the fence post together
B
Nothing's moved, there's no winter drawn to thrill

Drawn to surrender
F#
Somewhere deep inside my memory
 F#
There's a kid with a neck so slender
 B
Capsized and ten years later
 B
His arms are tattooed, he looks like a sailor


[Chorus]
    G#
But I
G#
Will
 G#
Will not
F#                B
I will not mourn who
 B                       F#
Who I was that has gone away


[Verse 2]
F#
Now he's assumed relaxations posture
F#
So every day he's underwater
 F#
Isolation, cave mouth darkness
B
Trying to say something but it makes no sense
     F#
But somewhere deep inside his memory
 F#
There's a kid that would just go walking
 B
24th Street thrift store shopping
 B
He looks so happy trying on a costume


[Chorus]

    G#
But I
 G#
Will
 G#
Will not
F#                B
I will not mourn who
 B                       F#
Who I was that has gone away


[Verse 3]
G#                       B
How do you perceive the morning sun?
C#                      B
After endless days of dull repetition
G#                               A#m7
Are you reaching out or are you reaching through?
B                       G#
Are you a ghost in an empty room?
G#
In an empty room
         F#
Alright


[Chorus]
F#                B                           F#
I will not mourn who, who I was that has gone away
B                        F#
Who I was that has gone away
B
Who I was


[Bridge]
 F#
Somewhere deep inside my memory
 F#
There's a kid with a neck so slender
 B
Capsized and ten years later
 B
His arms are tattooed, he looks like a sailor


[Outro]
B                                               F#
I will not mourn who, who I was that has gone away
