Guster – Well (Guitar)

D
Late afternoon when the sun was unraveling

D
Walking the trail to the end of the gravel

    Em                                    Bm
And into the well went a lucky old silver coin

Bm
Tumbling down, in the dark I was fading

Bm
And leaning so far and so quietly waiting

D
A wish that was made at the bottom of the well

D
What happened then is so hard to recall

D
But as quick as the snap of a whip I was falling

    Em
And tumbling, following after my silver coin

Bm7
Silence as day turned into the night

Bm7
Could I go back, how I wish that I might

D
I was the boy in the bottom of the well

D
My parents were weeping and frantically searching

      Em
"He'd always been wandering looking for something

Em
One moment he's here and the next he is surely gone."

        Bm
"But he didn't return for a day and night

Bm
We all knew that something just couldn't be right

  D
A voice on the phone said he'd fallen in the well"

D
I woke from my sleep with the firemen screaming

D
And lowering down all the things I was needing

  Em
A basket, a bible, a blanket, and a bell

    Bm
And dozens of voices yelling in unison

Bm
Loudly and echo-y, hazy and boom-y

D
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

    D
I'd always been dreaming of places and scenes

D
Fireflies only light that you see

    Em
The rhythm of crickets and toads the only sound

    Bm
And soon I'll be leaving but now I'm believing

Bm
In wishes and wells and a way to get back

       D
To the sacred place I've stumbled on and found

D
Late afternoon while the sun was unraveling

D
Walking the trail to the end of the gravel

    Em
And into the well went a lucky old silver coin

D
Tumbling down, in the dark I was fading

D
Leaning so far and so quietly waiting
