Chords

[Verse 1]
Em           C
The song's a thing

Em             C
And this one's thin

     F         C
From traveling light

    F        C
The stars at night

     Em       C
Have seen old time

   B7  Em
To new erosion

F        C
Old time gone

     F     C
With old religions
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em       G        F       C
Prickled interest seizing pride

    Em        G     F         Am  C
The night the music upped and died

Am  C  G
Died...
[Chorus]
     C
Been listening all the night long

     Am                F
Been listening all the day

     C
Will I listen for the one you know?

     Am               F
Will I listen, will I pray?

       C
It's a-coming all the night long

       Am            F
It's a-coming in the day

     C                  G
It's blowing through my stone ears

C             F
Whistling its way
[Verse 2]
Em       C
Left the song

  Em       C
Behind old chums

    F        C
The faintest trace

   F         C
Of what's to come

Em     C
What's behind

    B7      Em
And what is near

F        C
Banished by

F          C
A suckling ear
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em     G       F       C
Coffee lustre, lend me mine

Em      G         F        Am  C
Nothing came with beer and wine

Am  C  G
Wine...
[Chorus]
     C
Been listening all the night long

     Am                F
Been listening all the day

     C
Will I listen for the one you know?

     Am               F
Will I listen, will I pray?

       C
It's a-coming all the night long

       Am            F
It's a-coming in the day

     C                  G
It's blowing through my stone ears

C             F
Whistling its way
[Verse 3]
    Em      C
The music's gone

    Em      C
The music's dead

    F     C
The music went

     F      C
And, in its stead

  Em     C
A single song

  B7     Em
A chorus strong

  F     C
A symphony

     F        C
Sans right or wrong
[Pre-Chorus 3]
    Em     G               F       C
The band's rehearsing, the radio's off

    Em         G           F         Am  C
The silence is everything, hold that cough

Am  C  G
Cough...
[Chorus]
     C
Been listening all the night long

     Am                F
Been listening all the day

     C
Will I listen for the one you know?

     Am               F
Will I listen, will I pray?

       C
It's a-coming all the night long

       Am            F
It's a-coming in the day

     C                  G
It's blowing through my stone ears

C             F
Whistling its way
