Oh, Len, come down, and meet at the burial ground

        F                 C                      G
They've undid the aerial, tore down the merry-go-round

F       G               Am
  Here among the fallen leaves

F         G                  A
  Are we alone, the ones who dare to breathe?

F            G
  Throw your worries down,

        C     C/B     Am    Am/G
They're oh so gravely held

F                          G
  You have carried them so well, oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-woah

F          G              Am
  You laid down below the stone

       F          G                 A
Saying, "Wherever they have gone, I long to go

F           G
  Somewhere out beyond

      C        C/B   Am    Am/G
these maladies in my head"

F                                  G
  At least I think that's what you said, oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-woah
