Chords

[Intro] A C D G A E [Chorus]
            A              C
Standing on hallowed ground

            D               G 
standing on hallowed ground

A                   C
All folks like to stand here

                E
And they're not even from this town

       A                C   
When I make myself some money

       D                 F
And my path in life is found

A                         E        A
I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
[Verse]
E         A                 C
Well, I'm drinking in the graveyard

        D                  F
And I'm roving through the park

A                     C
Dreaming through the daytime 

           E
And just waiting for the dark

        A                C      
Cause that's when I can see them

        D              G  F
Pouring out the Cutty Sark

A                                             E
Stamping their bony feet to leave their mark
[Chorus]
            A             C
Stamping on hallowed ground

            D               F 
stamping on hallowed ground

A                   C
All folks like to stamp here

                E
And they're not even from this town

       A                C     
When I make myself some money

       D                F
And my path in life is found

    A                      E         A      E
I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
[Instrumental] A C A D F A C D E A C A D F A F E A E [Verse]
           A                  C       
Well, they hung them from the windows

         D                   F
And they burnt them at the stake

A               Am
All their misdemeanors

         E
But they may have made mistakes

   A                    C   
So keep your cauldrons quiet

    D                   F
And keep your neck in brace

        A          F      A            E
You're lucky to be living in this place
[Chorus]
          A            C
Living on hallowed ground

          D            F 
living on hallowed ground

A                  C
All types like to live here

                E
And they're not even from this town

        A               C
When I make myself some money

       D                F
And my path in life is found

A                  F       Am        A      E
I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
[Instrumental] A C D F A C E A D F A F E A E [Verse]
           A            C    
Well, the pyres are all ashes

        D                  F
And the water's running clear

      A             C
The screaming of repentance

        E
Is too distant now to hear

   A                     C
So I'll row my boat like Flora

          D                G   F
And I'll ride like Paul Revere

     A               F      E        A      E
I'm going to get the fuck away from here
[Chorus]
                        A           C
Get the fuck away from hallowed ground

               D           F 
get away from hallowed ground

A             C
People, get away here

                    E
Well, I'm trying to get out of this town

        A                C
When I make myself some money

        D               F
And my path in life is found

           A             F       E         A     D
Well, I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground

           A             F       E         A     D
Well, I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground

           A             F       E         A     
Well, I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
