Capo on 2nd fret

EWhen (022100@1)you fall at the rocks

At the bend at the river
         AbmWith (133111@4)the blood from your nose

Running hard on your fingers
            B (x2444x@1)                AAnd (x02220@1)through the rest of your life

E Abm B A

EThe (022100@1)electric charge

Of a change in the weather
         AbmYou (133111@4)were touching my arm

You were holding a feather
           B (x2444x@1)              AAnd (x02220@1)then I opened my eyes

C#mAs (x13321@4)the World goes racing, suddenly changed
                                                BAs (x2444x@1)the shock of the axe, it leaves you trembling
       C#mLike (x13321@4)a busting shell in the small of your back
                                                    BOr (x2444x@1)a job that's hard on the cast of your little lie

And an animal life was surging away

EAnd (022100@1)you were back on the road

Through the worst of the Winter
           AbmThrough (133111@4)the Valley of Lies

Passing through like an arrow

EOh (022100@1), if your vision collapsed

And a storm from the river
       AbmLike (133111@4)a golden medalion

Clutching tight in your fingers
           BBut (x2444x@1)on the slope of the edge
         AWill (x02220@1)you recover your life

EYou (022100@1)could stand on the back of a shuddering beam
                                    AbmWith (133111@4)a pistol firing shots into the air
          EYou (022100@1)could run in the blood of the Sun's hard rays
                                            AbmYou (133111@4)could drive the mountains down into the bay
                                            B (x2444x@1)                 
Or go back to the East where it's all so civilized
            AWhere (x02220@1)I was born to the life

EBut (022100@1)I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life
     AbmI (133111@4)am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life
     B (x2444x@1)       A (x02220@1)    EI (022100@1)am leaving
