C (x32010@1)       Cadd4      CUnder (x32010@1)the silence of water,
C (x32010@1)    Cadd4       CInto (x32010@1)a sky full of birds
C (x32010@1)          Cadd4       COut (x32010@1)from the land of our fathers,
     Am (x02210@1)            FI (133211@1)am falling on your words,
COh... (x32010@1)
C (x32010@1)         Cadd4      CDark (x32010@1)as the night of a preacher,
C (x32010@1)      Cadd4      CI (x32010@1)made a bed out of hay
C (x32010@1)            Cadd4      CThey (x32010@1)paid me a handful of money,
  Am (x02210@1)        FI (133211@1)gave it all away...
CAll (x32010@1)away...

F (133211@1)                    AmAnd (x02210@1)the righteous raised their stones
        F (133211@1)             AmAnd (x02210@1)the devil threw his arrow
         F (133211@1)           AmThat (x02210@1)was longing for a home
     Dm (xx0231@1)       FWith (133211@1)nowhere to go,
COh, (x32010@1)Theo...

C (x32010@1)         Cadd4       CIn (x32010@1)the half-life of the city,
C (x32010@1)          Cadd4      CShe (x32010@1)took off all of her clothes
C (x32010@1)             Cadd4         CI (x32010@1)flew from the height of the mountains
       Am (x02210@1)          FInto (133211@1)a valley of dry bones
CAll (x32010@1)alone

F (133211@1)             AmThen (x02210@1)my heart was still unknown
      F (133211@1)               AmI (x02210@1)was drunk and full of sorrows
      F (133211@1)           AmI (x02210@1)was longing for a home
     Dm (xx0231@1)       FWith (133211@1)nowhere to go,
COh, (x32010@1)Theo...

C (x32010@1)       Cadd4    CSo, (x32010@1)I set fires of starlight,
C (x32010@1)        Cadd4       CTo (x32010@1)burn up against the despair
C (x32010@1)                 Cadd4      CI (x32010@1)was caught in the tangles of midnight's
Am (x02210@1)             FLong, (133211@1)unanswered prayer:
C'Are (x32010@1)you there?'

F (133211@1)              AmAnd (x02210@1)the light of morning grows
     F (133211@1)             AmOn (x02210@1)a field of fallen sparrows
      F (133211@1)           AmI (x02210@1)was longing for a home
     Dm (xx0231@1)       FWith (133211@1)nowhere to go,
