Chords

[Intro] Am G C F x3 Am G C [Verse]
Em                              Am
At the turn of the year came a turn in the weather

F
A storm blew down the old ash tree

     Dm       F          Am  Em  Em/G
And opened a way to the nether

Dm              Am
Riven world was plain to see

F
Eons hid her in plain sight

    Dm               F                Am Em Em/G
The storm, she gave eyes to you and me
[Chorus]
    Am       G          C        F
To love the light that fired a spark

          Am              G             C         F
You must first have been buried in the deep down dark

     Am   G    F
The deep down dark

     Am   G    C
The deep down dark
[Verse]
        Dm                    Am
So we followed the line of a barn owl's flight

    F
In those days, in those distant days

    Dm                 F                      Am   Em Em/G
And set sail for the nether on the river of night

Dm                         Am
Waves like wolves in the shadows ablaze

F
Black hail struck like hammer blows

Dm                   F                          Am  Em Em/G
When again will the dead see the bright sun's rays?
[Chorus]
    Am       G          C        F
To love the light that fired a spark

          Am              G             C         F
You must first have been buried in the deep down dark

     Am   G    F
The deep down dark

     Am   G    C
The deep down dark
[Verse]
Dm                            Am
Deep in the nether where the river slows

F
Reading a map with too many folds

          Dm            F                  Am  Em  G
You were pulled down forever by the undertows

          Dm                 Am
Till you lift me out of the water's jaws

F
Up through a gap in the roof of the night

        Dm          F                 Am   Em G
And my bones grow again in the upper light

    Dm                   F                 Am Em G
The pus flies on my skin, roots pull me apart

      Dm          F                    Am Em G
I am green to my eyes and green to my heart
[Chorus]
    Am       G          C        F
To love the light that fired a spark

          Am              G             C         F
You must first have been buried in the deep down dark

     Am   G    F
The deep down dark

     Am   G    F
The deep down dark

     Am   G    F
The deep down dark

     Am   G    C
The deep down dark
