Dm (xx0231@1)     C (x32010@1)           F1           Dm (xx0231@1) As you lie before me now, like a shadow
      C (x32010@1)           DmOn (xx0231@1)a pea green sea
       F1                               DmNever (xx0231@1)thought that I could find you so hollow
       C (x32010@1)  DmLaying (xx0231@1)into me


F2 (135211@1)                     E (022100@1)  But this cup of wine
                               Am (x02210@1)  G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
         D*   F2A (135211@1)sorrow so  
                 E (022100@1)                            Am (x02210@1)    G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
            D*    F2But (135211@1)I don't know
                     E (022100@1)  AmI've (x02210@1)got nothing to hold on to


Dm (xx0231@1)         C (x32010@1)             F1         Dm (xx0231@1) Wished for gold so I could buy you a palace
        C (x32010@1)       DmBy (xx0231@1)the riverside
       F1                                   DmYou'd (xx0231@1)come in and I would fill your diamond chalice
         C (x32010@1)      DmYou (xx0231@1)were still alive


F2 (135211@1)                     E (022100@1)  But this cup of wine
                               Am (x02210@1)  G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
         D*   F2A (135211@1)sorrow so  
                 E (022100@1)                            Am (x02210@1)    G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
