Let ~ ring Verses: (Em may not be played every time/at all; Up to you)
Bm                         G
Barren rocks and sand, our wooden sculpture hands,

            Bm            D     (Em)          G 
held like a timber hitch, held candles to the sun

Bm                         G
Both faint and fading fast, we walked on, windward

                 Bm           D      (Em)        G
kept time with a pocketmouse, mouths kept mostly shut

Bm                               G
Thought broke the silence like a bone

                                        Bm
half-moaned: "you've worn me like an albatross,

D    (Em)            G
I've only slowed you down.

Bm                                         G                   
You could've long traded in your braided crown 

                               Bm              D   (Em)                 G
by now you could've found that Anabaptist girl you always used to go on about

Bm                           G
As we rode in circles on our bicycles;

             Bm           D  (Em)           G
we walked on balance beams as the audience cheered for us

Bm                           G
We burned like fevers under carriage hats

           Bm
hid behind Venetian masks

D  (Em)          G
In our human costumes

Bm                             G
We stood like statues once in shepherd's check

                        Bm
we'll both be decked in herringbone,

D       (Em)        G
wrapped border drab around already broken ironstone"

Bm                    
"But I've seen these cliffs before,

G                                           Bm
St. Agnes brought her palm branch to the hospital

D      (Em)             G
looked upward lest the charm had fled
from my brother's breathing bed [PLAY SOFTLY]
Bm                          G
And when he died I shut his dogtooth violet eyes:

                    Bm
He looked just like me

 D    (Em)         G
climb on down and see

Bm                         G
they laid him on the rocks below

                                Bm
there'll be enough to fill your cup for days

D     (Em)              G
I'll stay up here and rest.

[LOUD AGAIN]
Bm                                      G
We'll fly in straight lines as from carronades

                  Bm         D      (Em)      G
we'll crash like tidal waves, decimate the islands

Bm                                 G
As our hollowed lumber falls like water, ends where I start

                Bm         D   (Em)        G
In that tattered rag shop back in Asbury Park
[OUTRO]: Bm, F#m Em, Bm Look how soon my hands won't move but if you'll improve, we'll all improve Sixty feet and my feet won't move but if you'll improve, we'll all improve Forty feet, my legs won't move but as you improve, we all improve Fill our den with acorn mast, I'll wake before the salmon pass Ten foot more and nothing moves" Bm, F#m Em, Bm Special thanks to mxerscott for tabbing the horns during the outro:
