[Intro] Cm G Eb D Cm G Eb D [Verse 1]
Cm      G        Eb         D           Cm
I met a Moko man   from the other side

           G              Eb         D               Cm
The room began to capsize   as he was telling me his tales

          G                Eb
All my beliefs and best belongings

            D                   Cm
were flying useless through the air

          G              Eb             D
When they all were lost,   then we were brothers
[Verse 2]
Cm     G                Eb              D                Cm
By the wheel the teller stands, shaking numbers from his hands

            G             Eb               D
His face is masked and his coat tails are waving

           Cm        G                    Eb
He cries - "Round and round and round She goes

          D            Cm
Where She lands nobody knows

          G              Eb         D
But, hey, thank you for asking"
[Chorus]
Bb                    G#           G       F
The prayer flags are flying in the wind

The prayer flags are flying in the wind
[instrumental] Cm G Eb D Cm G Eb D [Verse 3]
Cm      G               Eb        D           Cm
By the last days of winter just a few of us remained

           G         Eb               D           Cm
We built a fire of remembrance on the frozen land

           G                Eb              D                Cm
And as the sparks flew up into the night to dance around the stars

  G              Eb                  D
Beneath our very feet the ground was shifting
[Chorus]
Bb                    G#           G       F
The prayer flags are flying in the wind

Bb                    G#              G
The prayer wheels are spinning in the wi----nd
[bridge]
              Eb                   G
And there she blows... our time is gone

                      Eb                       G
And in the womb a new head is beginning now to turn

                      Eb                         G
Beyond these Carnival lights there is nothing at all

                 Eb                      G  G  Eb  D  Cm  G  Eb  D
Just the distant screams and the endless fa-----------ll
[verse 4]
Cm        G                 Eb      D          Cm
A single drop of rain falls   on my windscreen

             G           Eb           D        Cm
We're closer to the very edge than we realise

            G             Eb             D
The bridges all have been washed away or bombed out

        Cm         G        Eb         D
And the water runs fast and black and cold
[chorus]
Bb                   G#            G                          F             Bb

The prayer wheels are spinning in the wind (The prayer wheels are spinning in the wind)

                      G#              G
The prayer flags are flying in the wi------nd
