[Verse 1]
C All the riders on the rise Fmaj7 Circlers from every side C All the riders on the rise Fmaj7 Circlers from every side
[Chorus 1]
Am Eyes up! G Light floods around Am in a yellow shadow after night G Comes down in a grand fall, Am G in a dull dumb swipe and all’s white.
[Verse 2]
C Fire painting on the pines Fmaj7 And hawks above the timber-line C Water weeping from the ice Fmaj7 Water weeping from the ice
[Chorus 2]
Am Heat is lost G Winter rocks into a lonely boxwood grove Am And quiet snowfall G Smothers all of the lawns where the ladies coughed and cried, Fmaj7 G "I don't want to be there when it's time!"
[Verse 3]
C The dying stag is on his side Fmaj7 The dying stag is on his side C The wind is beating through the briers Fmaj7 The wind is beating through the briers C The dying stag is on his side Fmaj7 The dying stag is on his side C The wind is beating through the briers Fmaj7 The wind is beating through the briers
[Chorus 3]
Am Waves on the graves of the saints G Dull grey as the sea pushes land away Am Dull ache when you wake G Grey smoke shows the way you walk down by when it’s time Fmaj7 G I don't want to be there when it's time
[Outro]
Em To go down, down F I don't want to go down there alone Em Down down F I don't want to go down there alone Em F Down down down down Em F Down down down down Em F Down down down down Em F Down down down down
