Chords

[Verse 1]
A
Look closely at the shadows

                                C#m  D
On the ground beneath the trees

                 A
The labors of Hercules
Wild grasses on the hills
                    C#m  D
Rippling in the wind

            A
Cybele unchained
[Pre-Chorus]
    E
The songs you sing at Christmas time

    D
The stories that you tell

                     F#m
Well I knew them well

   D               F#m
Yes I knew them well
[Chorus]
    E
Say your prayers to whomever

        D
You call out to in the night

         F#m
Keep the chains tight

E
Make it through this year

      D                  A
If it kills you outright
[Verse 2]
A
The coins they toss at dancers

                            C#m  D
Whirling in the city square

A
Music on the air
The places where we met to share
                         C#m  D
Our secrets now and then

         A
We will see them again

E
Change will come

     D
Stay warm inside the ripple

D
Of the panasonic hum
It grinds
        F#m
And it roars

D
Headed somewhere better
If I have to crawl there on all fours [Chorus]
    E
Say your prayers to whomever

        D
You call out to in the night

         F#m
Keep the chains tight

E
Make it through this year

      D
If it kills us outright
