Chords

Verses are largely just descending barred chords. Power chords would probably work well in place of barred chord for most of the song. [Intro] E D# D C# C B A B [Verse 1]
       E
We who gather by this fire

     D#
To remember who we were

     D
To recall the days of yore

     C#
To recall the days before

          E
Hear the crackling, stoke the flames

        D#
Conjure long-forgotten names

     D
Look long enough and see

            A
Where the referent wriggles free
[Pre-chorus]
       A
I will turn these stones to bread

            C#m
And all who hunger will be fed

            F#
Plates will shift and the earth will groan

           A
And no one here is going to die alone
[Chorus]
E
Aah ahh ahh ahh ah ah ah

C#m
Aah ahh ahh ahh ah ah ah

A           E
Ah ah ah
[Verse 2]
        E
Live in hope, walk in fear

         D#
Let them come, let them gather here

        D
Meaning well, boding ill

          C#
Let their hundreds crest the hill

       E
As you were, so they are

         D#
Orphans from a dying star

         D
Let them cluster, each to each

            A
Like smooth rocks on a distant beach
[Pre-chorus]
      A
Look upon them there and know

        C#m
We will all go when we go

       F#
Look into these eyes and see

       A
How we all will be made free
[Chorus]
E
Aah ahh ahh ahh ah ah ah

C#m
Aah ahh ahh ahh ah ah ah

A           E
Ah ah ah
[Extended pre-chorus]
           A
Beyond the grasp of the grave

             C#m
Free as driftwood on the waves

              F#
Through their fingers like a fish

              A
Free from the clutches of the flesh

        E
I will bring this word to them

        C#m
Last to first and stern to stem

                 F#
The king's gonna sit upon the throne

           A
And no one here is gonna die alone
[Chorus]
E
Aah ahh ahh ahh ah ah ah

C#m
Aah ahh ahh ahh ah ah ah  (yeah!)

A           E           E
Ah ah ah    Ah ah ah
