[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
