Chords

From the album Twilight [INTRO] C [VERSE 1]
            C
When they closed the last shopping mall

          F                 C
Crickets sang in crumbling walls

          Am              Dm
Termites ate through the doors

             G
And rabbits hopped along the floors
[VERSE 2]
            C
The empty shelves swarmed with bees

         F               C
Cash machines sprouted weeds

          Am                 Dm
Lizards crawled the parking lot

           G
Swallows flew the empty shops
[CHORUS]
               Am           Dm           G
And there was peace in the valley once again
[INTERLUDE]
   C                       F          C        Am       Dm           G

[Harmonica arr. for guitar]
[VERSE 3]
            C
Plants grew up the mannequins

           F               C
Painting them with leafy skin

               Am                Dm
Their plastic eyes fell to the floor

                  G
And were carried off by wild boars
[VERSE 4]
         C
All the mirrors cracked in half

           F               C
When wild horses galloped past

              Am                Dm
And mourning doves built their nests

        G
On the escalator steps
[CHORUS]
               Am           Dm           G
And there was peace in the valley once again

               Am           Dm           G
And there was peace in the valley once again
C
