The Dead Tongues


Tom: Em

Intro:
Em - G - D - C


[Verse 1]
            Em                   G
There's no silver or gold in the stars that we're told
          D                        C
Now we're walking down the road to heaven
  Em              G
I took no advice, set my sights
D                        C
Further down the road to heaven


[Chorus]
D                         Em            D            Em
And all my life I've been running after horizons and skies
D              Em
Little did you roam the pasture
D                   Em
With a moon on your way


Em - G - D - C


[Verse 2]
    Em                   G
The hour's getting late, I'm climbing up a gate
    D                       C
I'm knocking on the door to heaven
Em                            G
Haze the cupboard walls, your pictures hung in all
          D                    C
Won't you open up my eyes to heaven?

Come on, open up my eyes to heaven


[Chorus]
D                         Em            D            Em
And all my life I've been running after horizons and skies
D              Em
Little did you roam the pasture
D                   Em
With a moon on your way


Em - G - D - C


[Verse 3]
      Em                   G
Well, take me to your room with flowers in bloom
    D                        C
And every sight's like every morning
Em
Come and lay me down
      G                            D               C
Yeah, put me in a cloud and let it linger off ever after
           D
And let it linger off ever after
