Bright Eyes – Cleanse Song (Ukulele)

D			 D7	          G	       D
Hear the chimes, did you know that the wind when it blows

      G		  D	  		A
It is older than Rome and all of this sorrow

	D   D7		     G	       D
See the new Pyramids down in old Manhattan

	  G	       D		A
From the roof of a friend I watched an empire ending

Bm			    D
Heard it loud and long, the river's song

G		   A
Time marching on, to a mad man's drum

D			   D7
Don't forget what you've learned

G		   D
All you give is returned

      G		    D
And if life seems absurd

	  A
What you need is some laughter

	D	  D7
And a season to sleep

	G		D
And a place to get clean

	G	D
Maybe Los Angeles

	   A
Somewhere no one's expecting

G
On a detox walk

G
Over Glendale Park

G
GOver sidewalk chalk

G		     D
Some rope read "start over"

G
So I muffle my scream

G
On an Oxnard beach

G	 F#		     Bm         A
Full of fever dreams that scare me sober

A
Into saltless dinners

D			 D7	   G			D
Take the fruit from the tree, break the skin with your teeth

	G	D	   A
Is it bitter or sweet all depends on your timing

D		   D7
Like a meeting of chance

	  G		 D
With the train station glance

	G		D	A
Many lifetimes have passed in a instant reminded

G
Of a millstone house in a seaside town

G					D
When your heart gave out in a mission bed

G
So your wife gave birth to a funeral dirge

     F#			 Bm	  A
You woke up purged as a wailing infant

A
In Krug Thep, Thailand

D			 D7	          G	       D
Hear the chimes, did you know that the wind when it blows

      G		  D	  		A
It is older than Rome and all of this sorrow
