[Verse A]
Dm F Gm Hay and a clean stall A5 D5 Bb5 A5 Dm And iv - y on a garden wall F Gm And a sign saying sold A5 D5 Bb5 A5 Dm And an old coat for the bad cold

[Verse B]
D5 C5 Bb5 I believe in you D5 C5 Bb5 Do you believe in me? D5 C5 Bb5 What do you want to do? D5 C5 Bb5 Are we leaving the city? D5 C5 Bb5 On the black road D5 C5 Bb5 Through the gold fields D5 C5 Bb5 While the fiends are plowed D5 C5 Bb5 Dm Towards what we are allowed
[Verse C]
D5 F5 The bridle bends in idle hands Bb5 D5 And slows your canter to a trot F5 Bb5 We mean to stop in increments D5 F5 Bb5 But can't commit, we post and sit in impotence D5 F5 Bb5 The harder the hit, the deeper the dent D5 F5 Bb5 We seek our name, we seek out fame D5 F5 Bb5 In our credentials, paned in glass D5 F5 Bb5 Trying to master incidentals D5 F5 Bb5 Bleach a collar, leech a dollar from our cents D5 F5 Bb5 The longer you live, the higher the rent
[Verse B]
D5 F5 Bb5 Beneath a pale sky D5 F5 Bb5 Beside the red barn D5 F5 Bb5 Below the white clouds D5 F5 Bb5 Is all we are allowed D5 F5 Bb5 Here, the light will seep D5 F5 Bb5 And the scythe will reap D5 F5 Bb5 And spirit will rend D5 F5 Bb5 D5 In counting toward the end
[Verse C]
Dbass Ebass
In December of that year
Fbass Gbass Abass
The word came down that she was here
Bbbass
The days were shorter
Cbass C#bass Bbass
I was sure if she came round
Abass Dbass
I'd hold my ground
Dbass Ebass Fbass
I can do what they alluded to
D5 A change that came to pass F5 Bb5 And spring did range, weeping grass D5 F5 And sleepless broke Bb5 D5 Itself upon my winter glass F5 Bb5 And I could barely breathe for seeing D5 F5 Bb5 All the splintered light that leaked D5 F5 A fish is fleeting, launched in flight D5 D5 Unstaunched daylight, brightly bleeding F5 Bb5 Bleached the night with dawn deleting
[Verse B]
D5 F5 Bb5 In that high sun D5 F5 Bb5 After our good run D5 F5 Bb5 When the spirit bends D5 F5 Bb5 Beneath knowing it must end D5 F5 Bb5 And that is all I want here D5 F5 Bb5 To draw my gaunt spirit to bow D5 F5 Bb5 Beneath what I am allowed D5 F5 Bb5 Beneath what I am allowed Dm F Bb Beneath what I am allowed
Dm F Bb [repeat to fade]
