Lyrics are from his most recent recorded perfomance of this. [Intro] Fmaj7 Am Em x3 Fmaj7 [Verse 1]
          Am                   E
Well the wind went west, she poured my drink,

   Fmaj7                  C
Stumbled 'neath the stars on home

          Am                     E
Couldn't find no love from the angels above

        Fmaj7            C
Nor the devil down below

   Am                    E
Through all the sorrow, I learned to barrow

 Fmaj7                    C
A song from the blackest crow

             Am                     E
Through the wind and the hail, we fumbled and failed

 Fmaj7         C  Fmaj7          G
Steady as we go, steady as we go
[Pre-Chorus]
           Fmaj7           C
And these amulets falling days

            G           Am
For you I'd safely, save

        Fmaj7                     C                G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,

               Am                   Fmaj7 C G Am
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Fmaj7 C [Verse 2]
          Am                  E
And the hurricane came, and borrowed my name,

Fmaj7                     C
Scold when she clipped my wings

         Am                         E
Neither rich nor the poor couldn't find no cure

Fmaj7             C
For these sort of things

Am                       E
We moved along, like a bed time song,

Fmaj7            C
Quiet and holy and slow

     Am                    E
We tossed our backs, we tightened our straps,

 Fmaj7         C  Fmaj7          E
Steady as we go, steady as we go
[Chorus]
  Am     Fmaj7  C        G
Alright, okay, now I know

             Am          Fmaj7       C             G
Here in the hands of the hands that roll the bones

       Am                        G             C   E
That water, she's high, and the only one who knows

           Am           E         Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
Fmaj7 Am Em x3 Fmaj7 [Verse 3]
          Am                 E
Well the hills of gold, so haunted now

       Fmaj7                     C
Found comfort near the firelight

           Am              E
All the stories we told, turned us cold

 Fmaj7          G
Nothing's right

 Am                   E
Now we're lost, we're lost in flame

      Fmaj7                     C
Made a map from the power lines

        Am                     E
Oh the city down below in the factory smoke

 Fmaj7           C
The words shined

 Fmaj7           G
Steady as we die
[Pre-Chorus]
           Fmaj7           C
And these amulets falling days,

            G           Am
For you I'd safely, save

         Fmaj7                    C                G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,

               Am                   Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in
Fmaj7 Am Em x3 Fmaj7 [Chorus]
  Am     Fmaj7  C         G
Alright, okay, now I know

             Am          Fmaj7      C             G
Here in the hands of the hands that roll the bones

          Am                        G             C   E
And that water she's high, and the only one who knows

           Am       E      Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole

           Am       E      Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole

           Am       E      Fmaj7       C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
