Andrew Bird – Dear Old Greenland (Guitar)

D                               A
On the way to Greenland I shall find

A                                 D     A
All the disparate fragments of my mind

D         D7               G     Gm
I shall return a different man

            D               A
And darling do, and darling do

           D    G          A
All that I can, all that I can

D                               A
On the way to Greenland I shall find

A                              D     A
No mundane distractions of any kind

D                  D7               G      Gm
If beneath the ice fields there's a room

     D                  A
It's there I'll find my peace

         D        G     A
A lovely tomb

D
Friends, Greenland is a place where souls go to dry out

A7
   It is a vast and terrifying place of ice fields and tundra

A7
   Bereft of fire and in the horror of its imposing irrelevance, there is a sort of peace

D                                                                                                A
  The peace of pain, the peace of nothing. Well friends, I'll tell you what ... I'm going there

D                D7         G          Gm
Fear is lying, dying in the sands

              D                  A                G      Gm    D
Yes, and it's breathing from the gills of my Greenland   oh   oh
