Chords

[Intro] A E F#m D D5 A E F#m D D5 [Verse 1]
A
See the bracken green on the hills

E
See the gifts of every summer

F#m
Suns sinking low in the long grass

D                         E
Always rising and falling down
[Verse 2]
A
Theres bluebells growing under the trees

E
And I will be there in June

F#m
I will walk back down the river

D                    E
To some unknown salvation
[Chorus]
F#m       E
Taking me back again

A
Memories of the incomplete

F#m                     E
The birch, the oak, the rowan

        A
And the accordions down in the hall

F#m
By the riverside

      E         A
As if God hadnt happened at all

                                D
Stealing heaven from a moon-lit door

                        F#m
Taking me back down the railroad tracks

       E          A
To get lost in it all
[Link] A E F#m D D5 A E F#m D D5 [Verse 2]
E      A
On the young ploughed fields I kissed your eyes

  E
A crown of songs around your head

    F#m
And by the railings at the harbor wall

    D
The radios played
[Verse 3]
A
Never thought I could look upon

E
Something so beautiful, so pure

F#m
Brighter than sun on snow

   D
In some new enchanted garden
[Chorus]
F#m                E
She said weve been here before

       A
As the skies are slashed by flames

    F#m                    E
Our citadels come crashing down

A
A constant sea, a war of waves

F#m                E
Lay down your life for me

A
Lay down your love again

D
Well talk it over

A           E
And we ll waken

A
Like kings some day
[Instrumental] E A F#m A B A E A E F#m D A E F#m D [Outro]
A                  E
And the accordions played

F#m                D     D5
And the accordions played

A                  E
And the accordions played

F#m                D     D5
And the accordions played

A                  E
And the accordions played
