Chords

This took my quite some time to get right, feedback very welcome! Intro: C F Am F
     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      B7    Em
Have seen old time to new erosion

 F         C        F     C
Old time gone with old religion

   Em       G        F       C
Prickled interest seizing pride

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

        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            C          F 
It's blowing through my stone ears, whistling its way.
Left the song behind old chums The faintest trace of what's to come What's behind and what is near Banished by a suckling ear. Coffee lustre Lend me mine Nothing came with fear and wine, wine. Been listening all the night long Been listening all the day Will I listen for the one you know Will I listen, will I pray? It's a coming all the night-long Its a-coming in the day Its blowing through my stone ears, whistling it's way. The music's gone The music's dead The music went and in its stead A single song, a chorus strong A symphony, songs right or wrong The band's rehearsing, the radios off The silence is everything, hold that cough. Been listening all the night-long Been listening all the day Will I listen to the one you know Will I listen, will I pray? It's a-coming all the night-long It's a-coming in the day It's blowing through my stone ears, whistling it's way.
