[Intro] G [Verse]
G
Climb ye higher and higher and higher

            C                              G
'Til you're far away and breathing cleaner air

G
Oh my brother, my brother, my brother

             C                                         G
Who have you become in the wake of all that's happened here?
[Chorus]
        D7                              C
They're burning down the orchard to the soil

                    G
To the soil, to the grave

D7                           C
Spreading out the ashes of a love

                   G
That only gave and gave
[Verse]
G
Climb ye higher, and higher, and higher

           C                                    G
There's no room for all the hearts who will not stay

G
Oh my brother, my brother, my brother

C                                               G
The horses are running, the horses are running away
[Chorus]
    D7                           C
Our hands are pulling everything apart

                    G
Fall apart, falling back

D7                                    C
Tell yourself there's no more need to lie

                           G
We don't have time for that
[Bridge] D7 C G D7
C
It's okay, it's okay
G D7
C
My love will fall with grace
[Verse]
G
Climb ye higher, and higher, and higher

          C                                G
Leave our footprints to be lost along the ground

G
Oh my brother, my brother, my brother

         C                             G
There is nothing left to bring me back down
[Chorus]
D7                             C
Spreading out our ashes in the sun

                   G
In the sun, in the sun

D7                             C
Spreading out our ashes in the sun

                   G
In the sun, in the sun
