[F#] [A] [B] [C#] [D]
[F#] Close your eyes and you [B]draw one more day to a close
You [A]choose to be alone
You [B]float through your life as a [F#]ghost
And [F#]everything heals given time
And [B]everything dies given time
And the [A]scars run together, [B]mixing the nerves with the [F#]blood
And the [B]soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down[F#]
And a[B]ll your belongings turn to dirt in the ground[F#]
When your [A]heart's deep and dark as a well
And [B]everything that's golden and [C#]green goes to [F#]hell
[F#] [A] [D] [B] [A] [B] [F#]
And I was [F#]born to wind in the cradle
And I [B]ride on the hot southern breeze
and I [A]twist in the green and the [B]gold
and you see and there is [A]blood on my [B]elbows and [F#]knees
And [F#]people want to grow old in the cradle
When there's [B]snakes all around in the reeds
And you [A]ask me to fear of no [B]evil
When your [A]fire's all [B]over my [F#]feet
And the [B]soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down[F#]
And [B]all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground[F#]
When your [A]heart's deep and dark as a well
And [B]everything that's golden and [C#]green goes to hell
I said [F#]bring out your Vivian girls
[B]Bring out your cloud-covered girls
and [A]bring me a cup of your [B]tears
and [A]give me the [B]rest of your [F#]years
Because [F#]everything dies, given time
And I [B]know that this world could be mine
So I [A]closed both my eyes and I [B]count my heartbeats
and I [A]know that my [B]wings are on [F#]fire
And the [B]soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down[F#]
And [B]all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground[F#]
When your [A]heart's deep and dark as a well
And [B]everything that's golden and [C#]green goes to hell
When going to the F# throughout the song ad lib hammer-ons from the E to F# bass note
your power chords --- just listen to the song
The higher pitched instrument throughout the song is a mandolin ... just hang around F#
your upper register to duplicate ... on the break in between vocal lines it's generally
to F# like the bass and rhythm guitar
