From the album Unseen [INTRO] D [VERSE 1]
      D    G   D/F# A
The green one sleeps 

G               D
underneath the falls

 G                   D
Deep in the roar of water 

     G                D   Dsus4 D
he slowly dreams the world
[VERSE 2]
      D        G       D/F# A
And those who venture close 

          G                D
to that shadow 'neath the sea, 

      G             D
they fall asleep forever 

       G            A
in the eddy of the reeds
[INTERLUDE] A/G A/F# A/E [CHORUS]
       G             A             D
Don't listen, don't listen to the call 

       G     A              G             D
Turn away, away, from the whisper in the falls
[VERSE 3]
        D     G     D/F#   A
On the first summer nights 

     G            D
the windows open wide

     G                D
The world expands in darkness, 

       G             D  Dsus4 D
black waters rushing by
[VERSE 4]
           D      G       D/F#  A
There are hunters in the hedges 

            G               D
There are whispers in the green

     G              D
The soaking mud is hungry,

  G            A
closer now it seeps
[INTERLUDE] A/G A/F# A/E [CHORUS]
       G             A             D
Don't listen, don't listen to the call 

       G     A             G              D
Turn away, away, from the hissing in the walls
[VERSE 5]
    D       G      D/F#  A
Be careful summer nights 

 G                 D
Keep the windows closed 

    G                 D
Outside the yard is crawling 

     G              D  Dsus4 D
The heavy branches bow
[VERSE 6]
    D        G       D/F#  A
In heat the world remembers 

     G                    D
when all rushed with the sea 

    G                  D
In heat the old waves rise again 

     G                      A
to claim what has crawled free
[INTERLUDE] A/G A/F# A/E [CHORUS]
       G             A             D
Don't listen, don't listen to the call 

       G     A            G                D
Turn away, away, from the one beneath the falls

       G             A             D Dsus4 D
Don't listen, don't listen to the call 

       G     A            G                D
Turn away, away, from the one beneath the falls
