[Intro] Bm Em x2 [Verse]
  Bm                                                      Em
A plague in the workhouse, a plague on the poor now, I'll beat on my drum till I'm dead

Bm                                          Em
Yesterday a fever, tomorrow St. Peter, I'll beat on my drum until then
[Chorus]
         Bm                             Em
What melody will lead my lover from his bed?

         Bm                          Em
What melody will see him in my arms again?
[Verse]
    Bm                                                  Em
Set fire to foundation and burn out the station, you'll never get nothing of mine

    Bm                                           Em
The pane of my window will flicker and billow, I won't leave a stitching behind
[Chorus]
         Bm                             Em
What melody will lead my lover from his bed?

         Bm                          Em
What melody will see him in my arms again?
[Interlude] Bm Em x2 [Bridge]
D    A           Em                                                D
I'll sing of the walls of the well and the house at the top of the hill

     A           Em                                            D
I'll sing of the bottles of wine that we left on our old windowsill

     A           Em
I'll sing of the years you will spend getting sadder and older

   D             A                  Em
Oh love, and the cold, the oncoming cold
[Outro] D A Em x8
