Chords
[Verse 1]
D She went out and found A G Her father face down on the ground A Out in the cold
[Verse 2]
D She walked her way around A G A hill with the sun sinking down A Into the snow
[Verse 3]
Em G D A All the whitecaps of the waves slap Em G Like last hand claps A Em And the dark water dies in a crash D Is sucked back with a moan A And the smoke on the coast
[Verse 4]
Em Oh, piled fathers G A Soft, sighing daughters Em G A Where does it go?
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse 5]
D It's a dream, now A I'll describe G A Let your mind drift on down, like so
[Verse 6]
D To when the world was young A G A big sky, blue of a dead bachelor's tongue A A new bloom on the rose
[Interlude]
Em G So some line someone told says D A Even light can get old
[Verse 7]
Em Oh, slobbering lovers G Drink-clinking brothers A Em G A x3 They don't have to tell us, 'cause we know
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse 8]
D What a way down A G What a ride, what a slide spin-around A What a life to have known
[Verse 9]
D What a time A G And how I was singing out in a crowd A Of the thousand most frightening faces I've known
[Verse 10]
Em G And when the lighthouse D A Lending us sight finally went out Em G What a fright we felt A In that night
[Verse 11]
Em Friends just shout it out D All the whys and don't knows A All the cries in our throats Em G And how right we felt
[Verse 12]
D With our eyes tightly closed A Holding something we broke Em And then whimpering sisters G Sobbing well-wishers A It's over
[Outro]
D
Just let my hand go
