[Verse 1]
G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G I’m singing for the pharaoh Em Cadd9 G And I’m setting out alone Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Down a vast unending furrow G Em Cadd9 G To the sound of pick on stone G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Hiding from our essential natures yeah we Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Shrink back from the bone G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Well I’m singing for the pharaoh Em C G But I’m sickening for home
[Chorus]
G Em C G Can this voice carry seeds G Em C D G Can I seal this heart when the creature feeds Cadd9 Em Cadd9 G Can this voice carry seeds
[Verse 2]
G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G At night my dreams are full alive Em C G With root tips and filaments G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G See the blush of dawn in a crow filled sky Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G And I take these sacraments G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Gonna burrow like a beetle Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Into the high vaulted beams of governance G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Yeah I’m wading through the treacle G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Using my incoherence as evidence
[Chorus]
G Em C G Can this voice carry seeds G Em C D G Can I seal this heart when the creature feeds Cadd9 Em Cadd9 G Can this voice carry seeds
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 Meanwhile deception weaves its spell and G Em7 C G Em Who knows where who knows when Em Cadd9 G Let’s start again G G Cadd9 Em C G Who knows where who knows when
Sew ! …
G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 It’s a day like any other G Em7 Cadd9 G For the breakers of rocks and the pickers of locks G Dsus4 For the spenders and the lenders Em7 Cadd9 And the grim-faced descenders Em7 Cadd9 G And the riders of aftershocks G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G Well I’m singing for the pharaoh G Em Dsus4 Cadd9 G But my spirit has taken to the hills G Dsus4 Where the gulls are white Cadd9 Em And the sky is bright Cadd9 Dsus4 And the plough has reopened Cadd9 G The field’s red gills
[Break]
G Em7 C G Em Who knows where who knows when Em Cadd9 G Let’s start again G Em7 C G Em Who knows where who knows when Em Cadd9 G Let’s start again G Em7 C G Em Who knows where who knows when Em Cadd9 G Let’s start again
[Chorus]
G Em C G Can this voice carry seeds G Em C D G Can I seal this heart when the creature feeds G Em C G Can this voice carry seeds G Em C D G Can I seal this heart when the creature feeds
