# ------------------------------ # By: Gregory Alan Isakov [Intro] Bb F x4
 Bb                                                                    F
Smoke it flies from whisky mouths   /   vagabonds walk this suitcase town

 Bb                                                            F
summer left us beckoning   /   the cottonwoods were all worn out

 Bb                                                             F
night comes fixing on the day   /   and the universe reigned again

            Dm     F             Bb         Dm
while the wheels roll, to find a flickering light

 Bb              F                C           Gm
While you were sleeping I was the turning the dials

          Bb          F                   C     Gm
and I walled up your kingdom with radio wires

           Bb          F          C      Gm
and the bells of the choir came in low and rumbling

                           Bb
..aw, you should-a heard them...
[Instrumental] Bb F x2
   Bb                                             F
Living here in this city on fire, well I’ve been fine

       Bb                                                      F
just dancing drunk above the street   /   me the ghost of Caroline

      Bb
and that was me, ya know, calling up above   /

                                 F
from the steeples in the church yard

             Dm    F           Bb           Gm
watch the wheels roll to find another place home

 Bb             F            C                 Gm
While you were sleeping, you bet that I might

 Bb        F      C      Gm
walk this empty northern hemisphere wide

         Bb         F            C        Gm
and the kingdom it came, well it all fell down

                Bb
it all fell to dust   /   and it all fell...
Dm Bb C C x6
 Bb              F                C           Gm
While you were sleeping I was the turning the dials

 Bb        F     C      Gm                Bb
walk this empty northern hemisphere wide...
